Thank you Irene Muchemi-Ndiritu, Penguin Random House, and NetGalley for this arc in exchange for my honest review! Thank you to PRHAudio for the gifted audiobook in exchange for my honest review!
This book is beautifully written! I was swept away by the story. While I wouldn’t necessarily call this a coming of age story, Soila really comes into her own. She craves her independence and once she has it, she takes it into her hands and finally makes her life her own. “Lucky Girl” discusses topics like racism, cultural differences, and family dynamics. I loved the way the author had the characters navigate and discuss these topics through the book. “Lucky Girl” is insightful and beautifully written. If you have the opportunity to listen to the audiobook, I highly recommend it! The narrator does a fantastic job at conveying the emotions of the characters.
Rating: 4.5 stars
