Review: Lucky Us

Lucky Us by Amy Bloom
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was kind of a wild ride. It was about two half-sisters from broken families who build their own new sense of family from people they meet throughout their lives. It's set in the 1940's and '50's, mostly in the Northeast but some parts in LA. The characters are very colorful, and the situations they find themselves in seem contrived at times, or at the least, unlikely. There are strange connections between characters and unusual choices. Told mostly through narrative, but also with some letters between characters, this kept my interest despite its strange storylines.
