Lucky Break

A Novel

By: Jaclyn Westlake

Narrated by: Amanda Ronconi

When a spate of bad luck upends her meticulously planned life, Eliza moves to a charming—and mysterious—Midwestern lake town, where she just might find herself while trying to find the truth. Perfect for fans of Beth O’Leary, Katherine Center, and Sophie Kinsella.

Eliza hasalways had a plan…until her seamlessly plotted life implodes, and her engagement falls apart. At thirty-two, she suddenly finds herself second-guessing the picture-perfect future she had always envisioned—one that included raising 2.5 children nearby her tight-knit Italian family in San Francisco.

Then Eliza is offered the chance to start over: in Juneberry Lake, a small Midwestern town eager to lure remote workers to their picturesque community. Shocking her family and friends (and herself), Eliza packs up her apartment and buys a lake house sight unseen.

Juneberry Lake is as delightful as it looked in the pictures. And the pictures didn’t even include Joel, a fellow new arrival who works alongside her every day in an adorable coffee shop. But if Eliza is hoping to spy her uncertain future in the shimmering waters of Juneberry Lake, she’ll find herself out of luck. Because her friendly Midwestern neighbors are keeping a marvelous secret—one that will help Eliza see that her recent spate of bad luck was never her fault…and that the tide can turn when you least expect it. With the help of her friends and family, new and old, Eliza is finally ready to build a new future that’s entirely her own.

Great characters!!!

Jaclyn‘s abilities to make you love character in a very short time is incredible. I absolutely love the brother Enzo in the story. He is my absolute favorite. Honestly, I want a whole side story just on Enzo. Plus, who doesn’t the love the dog potato. Her ability to make all side characters and even supporting animals interesting and lovable, is one of Jaclyn‘s greatest strengths.

Loved it!!

This was my first book listening / reading from Jaclyn Westlake & I loved it. I love the pups in the story. Potato is the cutest. All of them are & I love that they are rescued animals. The storyline was great and has a great twist in it you don’t see coming. 10/10

I definitely enjoyed it

I enjoyed the overall story sometimes I felt like it jumped from place to place and I felt like we didn’t need to clarify so much on the identity and gender identification of people. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I just felt like it was a little pushed.
