Since November 2009Book News: The Good Luck Girl by Kerry Reichs
April 15th, 2009 by Leah
Kerry Reichs, author of The Best Day Of Someone Else’s Life, returns with her second novel called The Good Luck Girl. It is released on August 9th and the synopsis reads:
Maeve Connolly is tired of being labelled as irresponsible. Yes, she may spend unhealthy amounts of time on Facebook and watch marathon sessions of America’s Next Top Model, but Maeve isn’t a typical post-college slacker. Determined to change her life and make her own luck, Maeve impulsively decides on a grand adventure - driving cross country to LA. But en route, Maeve’s car breaks down and she is stranded in Unknown, Arizona. It is here, alone and in the middle of nowhere, that Maeve finally faces up to the reality of her past. What Maeve has denied acknowledging, even to herself, is that she isn’t running from bad luck, but from something much more complicated - something that made her feel as though the world would never turn again, and her heart would always remain closed. What begins as a hilarious and quirky coming-of-age tale soon deepens into a complex portrayal of survivorship and one woman’s journey to a new beginning.
It sounds interesting. I haven’t read Kerry’s debut but that also sounds interesting too.

I read Kerry Reichs first book and was not impressed, but might be willing to give this another go!
