About this item

An official Book of the Month Club selection. Three women, early twenties, find themselves aimlessly adrift in Erika Carter s fierce and darkly funny debut novel, Lucky You. Ellie, Chloe and Rachel are friends (sort of) ; waitresses at the same tired bar in the Arkansas college town they ve stuck around in too long. Each is becoming unmoored in her own way: Ellie obliterates all feeling with alcohol and self-destructive acts of sexual promiscuity; Chloe pulls out patches of her hair and struggles to keep incipient mental illness at bay; changeable Rachel has fallen under the sway of a messianic boyfriend with whom she s agreed to live off-grid for a year in order to return to health and asks Ellie and Chloe to join them in The Project . In a remote, rural house in the Ozarks, nearly undone by boredom and the brewing tension between them, each tries to solve the conundrum of being alive.
