Description
New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins is beloved for her heartfelt novels filled with humor and wisdom. Now, in her newest novel, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, she tackles an issue every woman deals with: body image and self-acceptance.
Emerson, Georgia, and Marley have been best friends ever since they met at a weight-loss camp as teens. When Emerson tragically passes away, she leaves one final wish for her best friends: to conquer the fears they still carry as adults.
For each of them, that means something different. For Marley, it’s coming to terms with the survivor’s guilt she’s carried around since her twin sister’s death, which has left her blind to the real chance for romance in her life. For Georgia, it’s about learning to stop trying to live up to her mother’s and brother’s ridiculous standards, and learning to accept the love her ex-husband has tried to give her.
But as Marley and Georgia grow stronger, the real meaning of Emerson’s dying wish becomes truly clear: more than anything, she wanted her friends to love themselves.
A novel of compassion and insight, GOOD LUCK WITH THAT tells the story of two women who learn to embrace themselves just the way they are.

It took me several chapters to get into this story. It's relevant in today's body conscious environment, but it's good to see on the news and social media that the perception is changing toward everyone doesn't need to be a size 2. The three characters in this story meet at a camp for overweight children when they were young and remained friends. When Emerson dies due to complications from obesity she arranges for her two friends, Marley and Georgia to handle her estate and gives them a bucket list of things she hope they will accomplish that she couldn't. As Marley and Georgia take on the task they grow and accept their lives for what they are. I enjoy most of Kristan Higgin's books, this was not my favorite but many readers with enjoy the friendship and love the three women share. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.
