The Good Part by Sophie Cousens

4.5

Thank you Putnam for the digital ARC and PRHAudio for the audiobook. I started with the audiobook and read the last half on my Kindle. The Good Part is like the movies 13 Going on 30 and Big mixed together into a women's fiction romcom. I'd say this one leans more toward women's fiction because the focus is on Lucy, but there is some romance involved as well. This book really makes you think about life and what matters most. Lucy jumps from age 26 to 42. As someone who is slightly older than 42, I thought it was perfect the way Lucy reacts to her new body and her lifestyle in general. Skipping 16 years would make the change to being a 40-something wife & mom a drastic change. There were some very tender moments with her friends, with Sam, and with cute and smart Felix. I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick read and the audiobook is great.
