This is my first read by Miss Morrey. I can not say I enjoy Things Are Looking Up more than 3 stars. BTW, this is chick lits. The story follows Miliy, who's on the the way to her dream job interview, hit by a bus. All her life is not upside down. She is forced to take a hard look in the mirror of who she is.
Miliy goes into a journey to reconnect with herself. The story is more of self journey. There are some secondary characters that help Miliy on the way, including her ex boyfriend Jed.
I like the idea of self discovery. I like the blurb of this book. But somehow I zoned out from few chapters in the middle. The writing does not really connect with me.
Overall this is not a bad book.
