And a Sixpence for Luck by Lilac Mills
4.0
'And a Sixpence for Luck' was entertaining and lighthearted filled with hilarious bursts of luck (both good and bad) amidst watching a young woman go through a rather interesting turn of events in her life. A sixpence is introduced in order to bring good luck to this young woman down on her luck but instead of bringing good luck, the sixpence sets forth the worst batch of bloody bad luck you could imagine, and yet some of it turns out to be the best of luck with a very happy ending.
One of the themes in the novel is the idea that you can be with someone for years and love them but not be in love with them. Knowing things about someone doesn’t mean that you have a meaningful relationship and that you're in love with one another. You have to be in love with the person, not just the idea of having someone there in an effort to not be alone. It’s important to open your eyes and understand why you’re with someone to be sure that you’re both in it fully and for the right reasons.
I thought it was interesting that someone’s perspective of another person could be so off, like Daisy's initial judgment of her brother’s wife Zoe. I enjoyed the various relationships that began and blossomed throughout the book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story.
