Reviews

[Jeff Sexton]

One Of The Most Hilarious Books I've Read Recently. Ok, so maybe it takes being an (elder) Millenial myself and the oldest of three brothers, but for me the comedy of this book was dang near off the charts. Yes, Lucy is a mess. Yes, she is fiercely independent and 100% committed to living her life her way - and you know what? It totally works. There is a touch of 13 Going On 30 vibes with both the opening sequence (which, contrary to the description, is *not* when Lucy wakes up from a coma - that happens later) and when she initially wakes from the coma, but in all honesty if you like that kind of comedy you'll probably enjoy this book. One main point that the reviewers who *didn't* like the book commented most on were that it wasn't a romance, well, it isn't currently marketed that way. Maybe it was initially, but it isn't now at publication day. It is a "women's humorous fiction", and that category is spot on. The other was that it was part of a series - and it is, though Amazon doesn't really mention this. (Goodreads does though.) That said, there was enough here that I didn't even pick up on this until reading the reviews *after* reading the book myself. So now I'll need to go back and read those tales, since I thought they were *upcoming* while reading this. In the end, I absolutely stand by the title of this review - this is absolutely one of the funniest books I've read in quite some time, and if you need a laugh, I very much recommend picking this one up.
