Emma is like a whirlwind. She has a part-time job, checks in daily on her mother after the loss of her dad as well as running numerous errands and the upkeep of the house. Brendan, her husband, is such a lovely man and any woman would be glad to have such a wonderful husband. Whilst Emma loves him dearly, she seems to think she has to take on everything and I did get frustrated at times at the way she spoke to him when he only has her and the families best interests at heart. I could see Emma’s side of things also though and she seemed to be digging herself a deeper hole and you just know she’s going to reach breaking point soon.
Thurston has recently lost his wife Mary after sixty two years of being together. My heart went out to this kindly man who whilst has family close by, feels very much lost and a huge void in his life which even his beloved dog can’t seem to fill. The story alternates between both characters who are struggling to cope with what life has thrown at them. What follows is an emotional rollercoaster of a story with their highs and lows.
Very Very Lucky while fundamentally being an uplifting and feel good read, does touch on some sombre topics such as cancer and grief which makes for some heart-wrenching reading. There are also some very light-hearted parts of which one family get together had me howling with laughter as it was so hilarious. I wasn’t sure which way the story would go towards the end but it was perfectly done and had me shedding happy tears and my heart felt like it was fit to burst. The story really makes you think about life and what is important. Incredibly poignant and beautifully written, I adored every minute of it!
