5 StarsI love it when I can rate a book five stars, it means that for some reason everything was aligned, I picked up the right book to suit the mood I was in at that time and once the read was over I was left with a feeling of total satisfaction. It doesn’t happen often enough but it did with ‘The Luckiest’.After Mac’s young daughter and husband were killed in a car accident she stopped living, only existing. Just when she thought things couldn’t get any worse her father died which effectively cut off her financial support. A trip to the store for ice-cream created an opportunity for her to change her life and start living again.This is an emotional story about healing. Broken people coming together and slowly coming to terms with their past hurts and learning how to live life again. Mac suffered so much death in her life it’s easy to understand why she sunk into such depths of despair that she no longer wanted to get dressed in the morning, why she lived on take out and ice cream, why she gained thirty pounds and didn’t care about her appearance.Meeting Christian was a turning point for her, he introduced her to Dean who also had a troubled past and in his own way was as broken as her. They helped each other trust in themselves again and as Mac’s confidence grew she was able to realise her dreams.I really enjoyed following Mac’s journey, her strength made me re-evaluate certain situations in my life and I’m glad I picked up this book when I did.Copy supplied for review
