I found The Lucky One in a pile of books in our new home. The bored me picked up the paperback copy and read it for two nights but found nothing special about it.
Guy was a former marine who found a photo in Iraq which eventually served as his “lucky charm”, making it possible for him to stay alive in the midst of bombs and bullets. After being discharged from service, guy traveled from Colorado to Hampton in North Carolina in search for that lady in the picture.
Lady turned out to be a second-grade teacher, a mother to a 10-year old boy, and was once married to a man, whose family practically rules over good ol’ Hampton. Lady lives in the same house with her feisty grandmother who operates a kennel and teaches dogs basic tricks.
Guy bears a unique last name and lives with a German Shepherd aptly named after the supreme god of all Olympians.
So you see the connect there? Dogs…that is.
The Lucky One pushes romance way too much and the entire concept of a lucky charm in the story line is not at all romantic to me. It was painful to read this. I can’t wait for it to be over. This is not The Notebook.
I will put this book back to the pile, never to be opened, never to be read again. EVER.
