The Lucky Ones by Liz Lawson is a story about surviving grief and loss. It’s been almost a year since May McGintee’s twin brother, Jordan, was killed in a school shooting. May has been lashing out at everyone close to her, everything makes her angry. Now that May is finally returning to school, she’s never felt more alone. All of Zach Teller’s classmates have made life very difficult, since his mom is the attorney for the shooter. Everyday is a struggle for May and Zach so when they meet each other they try to hide who they really are. The unlikely friendship of these two outcasts brings hope back to their lives. I loved this book, though it is definitely gut-wrenchingly sad in places. The author did a fantastic job of making all the characters realistic and relatable – all dealing with grief in their own ways. The Lucky Ones is perfect for fans of Sadie by Courtney Summers.
