Mackenzie is existing day to day after the death of her husband and young daughter. When another tragedy strikes, Mac must pick up her broken pieces and learn to survive. Existing is no longer an option. Stepping out of her cocoon, she must find a job and learn to move on. Easier said than done.There are characters you connect with from the start, sometimes due to their circumstances mirroring your own. God willing, I pray I never have to go through the pain and hurt that Mac had to go through. I pray I never have to walk a mile in her shoes to know what she is going through. It would hurt too much. I just cannot imagine this character's pain. So even though I didn’t connect with her, I felt for her. She was a strong character. It just took some time to get there.This was a really good story. I hurt, I laughed, and it nearly had me in tears. But I will say that even after all she has been through, Mac lifted herself out of the ashes and learned to live again. She learned to find herself, all thanks to a few friends that help her along the way. And that was my favorite part. Watching her grow throughout.I enjoyed the romance as well. I thought it was fun and flirty and just want Mac and Dean needed in their lives. So while, Dean was helping Mac…she was actually helping him too. He has a lot of baggage that comes with its own issues. And Mac was able to help him overcome it and learn to love.A quick, emotional read...THE LUCKIEST will have you reading from start to finish to see if Mackenzie will ever get her happily ever after. 4 Stars!!
