Some genuine laugh out loud moments interspersed with bits that made me cringe and also want to weep for our heroines. I throughly enjoyed this book and had to force myself to stop listening so I didn't listen to it all in one go. There was no perfect girl being swept off her feet by the knight in shining armour - this was a story of real insecurities, hang-ups and the pressure of living the perfect life.

It explores themes such as motherhood, friendship, sex and self-worth with an utter frankness that is just so refreshing. This was the second book I have read by this author and I absolutely loved it as much as the first one. Made Me Think: There are moments of real recognition in So Lucky that I think will resonate with everyone. I think this book will resonate with so many people - social media is all about showing the best bits and this is distorted reality at best. Being body conscious herself and dreaming of having any body but her own, Ruby can't help but feel terrible at what she does - but she needs to pay the bills.She also has the perfect cure to beat the afternoon slump which is apparently better than a Mars Bar.

Then there's Beth, who is finding it difficult to care for a newborn alongside running a successful business.Ruby's work involves retouching the photos of celebrities, airbrushing away their apparent imperfections. They are three-dimensional, modern women who have complexities in their lives which they just have to get on with. Ruby is hiding a condition that makes her hide her body, her dysfunctional relationship with her mother has caused lasting damage and she’s struggling to connect to her own three year old daughter. Problems are lurking behind the scenes, and Lauren is trapped, trying to keep her life afloat and picture-perfect, even when he marriage might be in danger.
