Lucky Girl is an autobiography about Lottie Tomlinson as she navigates the lessons she has learnt throughout her life. This is a story about resilience in the face of tragedy and loss.

This is a book I’m struggling to write a review about. I often struggle with writing reviews on memoirs as I feel like it’s an odd thing to write your thoughts on the story of someone’s life but this one holds a personal connection to it.

I had been a fan of One Direction from the age of ten. The band was a huge part of my childhood and as someone who took to social media as an outlet for life, I found friendship there too. 

I don’t speak often about this for many reasons but Fizzy was someone I considered a friend of mine. We were the same age and we found ourselves communicating with one another online. She was someone I truly loved. As we were the same age (Myself being a few months older), we were quickly able to bond as we grew up with one another. Fizzy was someone who I could talk to for hours about the silliest things. She was someone so easy to love. I will forever keep our friendship and our connection in my heart.

Lottie and her family have gone through the type of grief that no one ever should have to, especially at such young ages. I am so proud of the way she holds herself and the way she has taken these devastating losses and turned her pain into helping others. 

I know for a fact that her mother and Fizzy would be so proud of her.
