Book News: Lucky Every Day by Bapsy Jain
Posted on Monday, September 21st, 2009 by Chloe
Bapsy Jain has her debut novel out next year, and I think it sounds fascinating. Lucky Every Day is out on 7th January 2010 through Penguin, and sounds like the sort of thing I’d like to read. Here’s the synopsis:
“Lately, Lucky’s life has seen nothing but trouble. Her marriage to the wealthy and charming Vikram ended badly, and along with it, her career as a successful entrepreneur. It’s time for her to start over and Lucky is more than ready to move on. So Lucky goes to New York where her quest to get her life back on track begins with promise. A voluntary assignment as yoga instructor brings her some new and unusual friends, and a chance encounter with her old friend, Amay, makes her realize that a second chance at love might just be possible. And when she finds a job with an old associate, she can’t help but think that leaving Bombay was the best decision she ever made. But a series of dramas leaves Lucky feeling betrayed and looking for answers yet again. Her new life may not be everything she thought it was but she soon learns that only she has the power to change her destiny.”

You have no idea how long I have been waiting for news of this book! The brilliant Jane Fallon is back next year with her new novel called Foursome! It’s been over a year now since we had Jane’s last book,
What I think is Sara Shepard’s (author of the Pretty Little Liars series) first adult novel, All The Things We Didn’t Say, is due out on the 29th October and sounds like an oustanding read:
Kat Elliot isn’t exactly what you’d call popular. She works for a music magazine doing what she loves, and is pretty happy. But all that is set to change when she bumps into her ex-best friend from school, Lauren.
Rosie Dunne and Alex Stewart have been friends since they were 5 years old. Years later Alex and his family move to Boston. Rosie plans to follow him there but something happens which forces Rosie to abandon her plans.
This week’s author of the week is Lisa Jewell. If you aren’t familiar with Lisa’s story she only started writing books after making a bet with a friend. The result was the hugely successful Ralph’s Party. 






Author Julie Highmore is back this December with her next book, The Message. The book is released through Headline Review on 10th December, and sounds like a great read:
