    In the tradition of Emily Giffin and Marisa de los Santos, How Lucky You Are is an engaging and moving novel about three women struggling to keep their long-standing friendship alive. Waverly, who's always been the group's anchor, runs a cozy bakery but worries each month about her mounting debt. Kate is married to a man who's on track to be the next governor of Virginia, but the larger questions brewing in their future are unsettling her.

    Story
    What would have made How Lucky You Are better?

    If one of the characters had more of a starring role, and the other characters were supporting that.


    What was most disappointing about Kristyn Kusek Lewis’s story?

    The end was overshadowed by domestic violence aimed towards one of the characters. Then, the author closed the book with an unconfirmed story that this had happened in her life.


    What does Coleen Marlo bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Men have been the dominant sex since - well, the dawn of mankind. And yet, as journalist Hanna Rosin discovered, that long-held truth is no longer true. At this unprecedented moment, women are no longer merely gaining on men; they have pulled decisively ahead by almost every measure. Already "the end of men" - the phrase Rosin coined - has entered the lexicon as indelibly as Simone de Beauvoir’s "second sex", Betty Friedan’s "feminine mystique", Susan Faludi’s "backlash", and Naomi Wolf’s "beauty myth" have.
