The Good Part

Narrator: I enjoyed the narrator chosen for this book. She did an excellent job bringing each character and the story to life. Listening to it made it feel like I was in the story. 

Story: Lucy's life isn't what she had expected and wants to get to the good part of life. After making a wish, it comes true and she wakes up 16 years later to the job and love she aways wanted. But is it as good as she hopes and when given the choice will she stay or go back in time? 

This has some similarities to 13 Going on 30. Both main characters are thrown into a future version of themselves with the job they wanted. There are differences in each. In the book Lucy isn't just navigating her new career, but also coming to terms with being a mom and balancing the parenthood with a career. I enjoyed the realistic moments in the book when Lucy is finding out just how crazy with littles can be.  

I adored her son throughout the whole book. The way he viewed Lucy in the beginning and wanting to help her was so sweet. I loved watching their relationship grow throughout the book and her growing into her role. Her husband and friends were also wonderful characters added to the story. 

This book had wonderful moments, but also heartbreaking ones. A wonderful read! 

This book has off the page loss of an infant and death of a friend.
