I am currently reading The Good Luck Girls by Charlotte Nicole Davis.
I bought this book back in April as a bit of a "cheer up" present to myself. Although it's not actually very cheery, it's just a book I know I'll love.It was easier, she'd been told, if you kept a tune in your head.
I love this first line. It captures the author's gorgeous writing style and immediately gets you wondering: what's easier?
The cover for this book is stunning, the foiling is exquisite and I could stare at it all day.
I just... The story has me gripped. I am so invested in what's happening to the girls, what's going to happen, how everything will play out.
This is a very dark book and content warnings so far include sex trafficking, sex slavery, attempted rape, and sustance abuse. It is definitely not an easy read.
He sat heavily on the bed, muttered a low curse, and fell back. Aster hurried to his side. His eyes were half open but unseeing, his words faint and incomprehensible. If he wasn't already asleep, he would be soon.This is from page 56 in my finished paperback copy.
