GOOD LUCK WITH THAT

Kristan Higgins

New York Times bestselling author Kristan Higgins is beloved for her heartfelt novels filled with humor and wisdom. Now, she tackles an issue every woman deals with: body image and self-acceptance.
Emerson, Georgia, and Marley have been best friends ever since they met at a weight-loss camp as teens. When Emerson tragically passes away, she leaves one final wish for her best friends: to conquer the fears they still carry as adults.

For each of them, that means something different. For Marley, it's coming to terms with the survivor's guilt she's carried around since her twin sister's death, which has left her blind to the real chance for romance in her life. For Georgia, it's about learning to stop trying to live up to her mother's and brother's ridiculous standards, and learning to accept the love her ex-husband has tried to give her.

But as Marley and Georgia grow stronger, the real meaning of Emerson's dying wish becomes truly clear: more than anything, she wanted her friends to love themselves.

A novel of compassion and insight, Good Luck With That tells the story of two women who learn to embrace themselves just the way they are.

Kristan Higgins is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of nearly twenty novels, which have been translated into more than two dozen languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide. She lives in Connecticut with her husband, two children and dogs.

Comments

“Higgins' astute, perceptive eye to the best and worst of human nature enhances the poignancy of a sensitive topic, which she navigates with humor and grace.”

“Higgins writes with uncommon grace and empathy about a fraught topic for many people: weight. [She] doesn't pull any punches as she starkly illustrates how the judgmental attitudes of even close friends and family can caustically eat away at self-worth. The author provides sharp psychological insight into her characters, such as when Georgia thinks, ‘Life was kind and full of chances. Sometimes we didn't take them. Sometimes we hid our truth and acted out of fear. Sometimes we turned away and closed the door.' This novel is a winner.”

"[A] heartbreakingly gorgeous story of female friendship and what it takes to feel comfortable in one's own skin."

“Higgins writes with her trademark heart, humor, and emotion, addressing the serious and somber subject of body image Highly recommended.”—
