About this ebook
Is living the life you’ve wished for really a dream come true?
Lucy Young is twenty-six and tired. Tired of fetching coffees for senior TV producers, sick of going on disastrous dates, and done with living in a damp flat with roommates who never buy toilet paper. After another disappointing date, Lucy stumbles upon a wishing machine. Pushing a coin into the slot, Lucy closes her eyes and wishes with all her might: Please, let me skip to the good part of my life.
When she wakes the next morning to a handsome man, a ring on her finger, a high-powered job, and two storybook-perfect children, Lucy can’t believe this is real—especially when she looks in the mirror, and staring back is her own fortysomething face. Has she really skipped ahead like she’s always wanted, or has she simply forgotten a huge chunk of her life? As Lucy begins to embrace new relationships and the perks of maturity, she’ll have to ask herself: Can she go back to her previous life, and if so, can she stand to leave the good part behind?

I found I did not want The Good Part to end because it was so very interesting and I fell in love with the characters of Lucy, Sam, Felix, and Amy. The story is that twenty-six year old Lucy is fed up with her living conditions and her job. All her best friends have advanced in their careers but Lucy feels stuck. After an evening of two many drinks and a horrible meetup, she finds shelter from the rain in a small shop. In the shop is a wishing machine and Lucy makes a wish of a lifetime and everything changes for her. It is a truly marvelous novel. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
