Book Review for The Good Part
Sophie Cousens has quickly become one of my favorite authors. With relatable characters and thought provoking stories, you find yourself walking away with more than you thought one could from a fun loving romantic comedy. Each of her books gives more than it takes and The Good Part is no exception.
If you could skip to the good parts in your life, would you do it? Past the heartbreaks, beyond the failures, leaving behind dashed hopes, only to arrive to a place that holds everything you could have ever imagined. Gorgeous spouse, successful job, money, recognition, the list goes on. Would you make that wish for that type of reward? Lucy Young’s answer was a resounding “Yes!” Failed date after failed date, horrible living conditions, and a dead end job, all Lucy wanted was to get to the point of her life where all of the sacrifice was worth it. At her lowest, drenched from the rain, traumatized by an impromptu date, Lucy enters a store to escape the weather and finds a wishing machine in the back. With nothing else to lose, she wishes to fast forward to the best parts of her life. Ignoring the warning that one should alway be careful what they wish for, Lucy wakes up in a breathtaking bedroom with a gorgeous man beside her. Strange but promising start to the morning until one look in the mirror nearly scares her half to death. Having zero memory of anything that happened between the Wednesday night when she was 26 and this Friday morning where she is now 42, Lucy quickly realizes that while her wish may have come true, it may not be worth giving up the bad in order to skip ahead to the good.
The Good Part is a beautiful reminded that life may be unfair, challenging, and frustrating at moments but finding the good amongst the bad is what makes it worth living each and every day. Even the “good part” of Lucy’s life still had aspects of bad – it just didn’t outweigh it. And that is the challenge, not getting to the good part per say but experiencing enough of life that we learn to balance the good along with the bad, continuously tipping the scale in our favor.
Thank you NetGalley and Putnam Books for allowing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

#childhoodweek day 3: •FAR AWAY• 🌙⭐️☁️ I always was a dreamy kid - daydreaming in school, car rides and also meanwhile having walks my thoughts always drifted far away imagining places, stories and magic fantastic things. Always when I had a wish I would sneak out of bed after bed time to sit on the window frame waiting for the brightest evening star, my „wish star“ ,to come over the horizon to make a wish and being sure it will come true like that. Did you had a little ritual how you thought your wishes come true?✨���️ @childhoodweekevent #childhoodweek2020 #childhoodweekevent #procreate #procreateart #digitalart #storymoment #wish #makingawish #childrensroom #children #childrenbookart #childhood #brushes #instaart #moonlight #lightmood #setdesign #backgrounddesign #nightsky #night #childhoodmemories #backgroundart #faraway #illustration #childrenbookillustrator #lightartist #colorpractice #colorartist #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CIoE8pUDtcp/?igshid=1p8qc6rkb9kd9
