Lucy Young is tired. Tired of being broke, tired of living with infuriating roommates, tired of working hard at her job but receiving no recognition, and tired of disastrous dates. She wishes she could just skip ahead to the good part of her life, where she has everything figured out and has achieved all of her dreams. So when she stumbles upon a curious wishing machine in a tiny shop, that’s exactly what she wishes for. The next morning, Lucy wakes up in an unfamiliar bed next to an unfamiliar man in an unfamiliar house, sixteen years in the future. She is married with two children, and has her dream job. As Lucy steps into her new life, she learns that things are never 100% perfect. As she starts to learn of how her life went over those missing sixteen years, she’ll have to evaluate whether she can go back to the present, and if she even wants to.

Thank you to @netgalley, @sophie_cousens, and @putnambooks for the advance copy! I was super excited that my request for this book was granted because I love the two other books I read by Sophie Cousens (Just Haven’t Met You Yet and This Time Next Year) and I am happy to report that The Good Part blew both of those out of the park! This book was laugh out loud funny, but it also nearly moved me to tears at times. The story and all the characters were so genuine, heartfelt, and lovable. This was a great book about navigating through life’s hardships and to not take for granted every moment, because you never know when it could be taken from you. I absolutely loved Lucy’s relationships with her family, especially with her future son Felix, who was hilarious and so brilliantly written. Such a wonderful book! I highly recommend snatching this one up when it releases on November 7!
