A review by jbshap
The Lucky Ones by Julianne Pachico

3.0

Stories about Columbia and the FARC, guerrilla fighters and war....how it affects a community of rich ex-pats ..I love that this book is about something I knew nothing about and it really brings it to life. Really well told...feels almost like magical realism...but it's mostly just real. I didn't like that it is more interconnected stories than a novel. I really, really, really wanted to know what happened to the girl in the beginning...but, spoiler alert, you never really find out.
