Lucky Me
Lucky Me is that rare book that capturesain the vein of Elinor Lipman and Elizabeth Bergawhat it really means to be a modern woman. Julie Berman seems to have it all: a beautiful home in suburban New Jersey, a loving husband, a budding career as a freelance journalist, and two great kids. To the outside world, her life is perfectalittle do they know that behind the faAsade, Julie is beginning to feel like her world is falling apart. Among her worries is a nagging fear that sheas turning into her motherajust as neurotic, just as crazy, and just as consumed by appearances. Then thereas the handsome, charming, and quite single editor at the local newspaper who has definitely taken a liking to her . . . which wouldnat be a problem if he wasnat so tempting. Add to that her moody, monosyllabic teenage son, who may or may not be having sex with a new girlfriend (whom Julieas not sure she approves of, sex or not). But the final blow to her sanity comes in the form of a phone call from her daughter, who informs Julie of her plans to run off with her boyfriend . . . whoas also her college professor. Lucky Me is a journey into the year when everything seems to come to a head in Julieas lifeaand when she realizes that there are some things you canat control, especially the people you love. Wise, irreverent, tender, and funny, Lucky Me is for every woman who has ever feltadespite her most valiant effortsaless than perfect. From the Hardcover edition.The college application, we agreed, was a metaphor for her whole life: full of surprises, moments of solemn depth, and a smattering of bullshit. ... Then, I almost missed it, written so casually, so faintly, in pencil, under the heading, Any Other Notable Distinctions. ... Her favorite applications had a choice of essays, where one leaned more toward the creative and seemed less like a campaign promise.
