“Since I was a child, I had been searching for that place where I could just be me…My spirit was at peace. I had found home.”
I absolutely adored this debut novel. Lucky Girl is a coming of age story that follows our main character, Soila, throughout her life growing up in Kenya and choosing to attend school in the United States.
Soila seeks out her own happiness all the while worrying about her family’s disapproval. The character development, writing style, and descriptions were so strong and engaging. I especially loved Soila’s journey to find her true self as well as her friendship with Leticia.
The novel explores race relations across cultures, family dynamics, grief/loss, friendship, and perseverance. I am so looking forward to the author penning more works.
