Just Lucky by Melanie Florence

3.0


Disclaimer: An eARC was provided via The Publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The Thoughts, opinions & feelings expressed in the review are therefore, my own.

Another eARC that I received from Netgalley that I didn’t read on time - & one of the books that I really should have read at the earliest!

Just Lucky is all about a 15 year old girl -
who loves her life living with her grandparents! She loves that they have always been there for her; and making sure that her selfish mother (& trust me she is the definition of selfish!) who left her with her grandparents isn’t missed.

She loves her life, with her beloved grandparents and her best friend - when it all falls to pieces when her grandfather passed away and she finally realised that her grandfather has been keeping the extent of her grandmother’s dementia from her.

When her grandmother almost burns their house down, and the authorities get involved, she has no choice but to actually become a part of the foster system.

Just Lucky is thus, an ode to Lucky’s experience in the foster system. It’s a look at how a human being can be considered less than one, when the world believes that they have nothing and are at its mercy.

But it is also a hopeful look at the world form the eyes of a resilient young woman who does nothing but move forward with a strength that is admirable.
