Today I am reviewing another ARC read from Literary Inspired. This time, it's a wonderful book called Miss Fortune by Maxine Meyer. Again, I love reading the amazing work these South African authors are doing - we have so many wonderful, talented writers in South Africa that deserve a bigger fanbase.
So a little blurb about the book :
Blurb
Fortune favors the broken.
Eden Sinclair is a hobby novelist barely keeping it together, and she’s tired of pretending otherwise. She’s spent years outrunning her past, but the cracks are getting harder to ignore.
Nathan Ward is a surveillance agent whose only two priorities are catching the nation’s most notorious and making sure his mother doesn’t have to eat dinner alone.
When a premature click puts Eden in Nathan’s path, it feels like nothing short of fate. He couldn’t save his sister, but maybe Eden’s the redemption he’s been searching for. He can help her in ways no one else can, as long as no one notices how invested he’s becoming.
After a brush with death lands Eden in group therapy, things finally start looking up. Brunches with Paige feel lighter, and even the neighbor’s cat, Fritter, seems to like her more. With a renewed appreciation for life and oddly good luck, Eden has time to think about her future—and her abysmal love life.
But the new guy at this week’s meeting could change that...
So let me share my thoughts about this book :
Eden's life is a complete mess, and I can relate to her in so many ways. Her life is currently extremely horrible, and she has had enough and decided to commit suicide. Her attempt clearly didn't work, but as she googled it and Nathan did an incorrect search, he found out about her attempt. This sets him on an adventure to make her life better, since he couldn't stop her attempt.
Eden's life gets better, and she starts living a little more dangerously because she believes she is unstoppable. Her life does get better, but she never realizes Nathan is the one making it better.
He later joins the group therapy to get closer to her, and in this attempt she does fall for him - until she hears he was the one doing all of this for her. In the end, they do not end up together, which honestly I am bummed about, BUT I do realize it was not healthy for her either, as he was trying to improve everything in her life, invading her space and taking over without letting her live a little. So bummed, yes, but also 100% sure it was the right choice for her. I'm a hopeless romantic, so sue me.
This book does have trigger warnings - BUT honestly, it's so well written and worth it if you don't have any of the triggers. If you loved Lights Out, you'll love this book too.
Her book releases today, and you are welcome to purchase the book from Kindle as well as her website https://www.maxinemeyer.com/
