From my blog...[return][return]Get Lucky by Katherine Center is a delightfully charming, witty, and down-to-earth look at the lives of two sisters, Sarah and Mackie, and the life altering events that shape who they are. The story is told to the reader by Sarah beginning with how she managed to get herself fired and then ends up staying in Houston with her sister and brother-in-law, Clive, much longer than she ever expected. Center's characters are witty, strong, and quite likeable, especially Sa...more

Do you ever pick up a book and find that you are surprised by how much you liked it? You aren't really sure why, maybe it is your mood, maybe you connect to the story or the characters, but there is just something about it. This is what happened to me with this book.

It is always funny how there are times when you hit the send button on a e-mail and you know you shouldn't have sent it. For Sarah that one little action cost her, her job and sent her home to Texas to lick her wounds. On her way hom...more

Get Lucky by Katherine Center tells the story of Sarah Harper, a workaholic advertising executive in New York City.

She decides to travel home to Texas to visit her sister and best friend Mackie.

When she arrives home, she finds that Mackie’s life is not as perfect as it looks; all Mackie wants is a baby and she and her husband are struggling to conceive. Sarah swoops in...more

Recommended to Relyn by: Hula Seventy

I've read Katherine Center's other books, and I think this one was probably the most enjoyable. Certainly the male love interest was the best. If I could have, this would have been a three and a half star book. I liked it, but I don't see myself ever rereading it. Not sorry I read it, but don't care about owning it. One of those books, you know? If she had dealt with the guy and his back story more I would have liked it better. The love story part of this book was great, but it was way too small...more

We first encounter Sarah after she has gotten herself fired from her New York City ad job and is headed to Houston to spend a holiday with her sister. Of course, it turns out to be more than a short vacation. As we become immersed in Sarah's story, we are reminded that plans don't alway work out the way we expected, grief can be overc

This was a good read, a nice easy break from some of the more cognitive challenging reads I've had of late. It was a nice story, progressing from a girl finding herself at a rough spot in life, and the choices and actions that she makes that lead her down an unexpected path. I also enjoyed the metamorphosis of some of the relationships in her life, and how the author handled weaving those throughout the story.

What I ended up not being pleasantly surprised by was the book itself. I read a lot of chick lit. It is my preferred type of fiction, along with YA fiction.

This is my first Katherine Center book and I have to say I'm not impressed. I felt this book had a lot of potential, but fell short in so many ways. I was bored with all the useless information of Sarah thinking to herself and the severe lack of dialogue between characters. There was hardly any interaction between Sarah and her love interest it was mostly her obsessing over how much she either hated him or was crushing on him.

This book is some good quality chick-lit. There's a lot going on on every page, and I loved the characters (mostly). The story is cute in a "this would never in a million years happen to me, over the top" kind of way, which is how I like my chick-lit.

The story is cute in a "this would never in a million years happen to me, over the top" kind of way, which is how I like my chick-lit. I thought each of the situations that Sarah found herself in was well-developed but like in real life kind of taper off in importance as they're going on and other things get in the way, like when Sarah realizes she hasn't seen April in a month.

I had mixed feelings at the beginning when Mackie and Sarah decide decisively to do the surrogate thing in less than a page. It felt a little bit un-thought out for two such supposedly smart characters and a little bit "let's get this story on the road!" for the author. Once the plot-line was in place, it worked out pretty well although at times felt like an afterthought for Sarah. I know it's chick-lit, so I'm not judging here because you can't get Too Deep in chick-lit, but I might have liked to see Sarah give a little more insight into the feelings of being-a-surrogate. I thought she was a pretty intelligent character, so surely she had some thoughts throughout about what it all meant, like the first time the baby kicked, etc.

I totally hated Everett every page he was on from the beginning, and I didn't feel like the author did enough to redeem him for her ending, which was kind of disappointing. I breezed through the last chapter-and-a-half kind of disinterested because I already knew I disagreed with the author's ending, and I liked the first 7/8 of the book enough that I didn't really need it.

I like the author's style of writing -- it's cute, it's catchy, it's young and hip. I'm being a little harsh on it in my star-rating (3.5 would be ideal here if there were decimals) because for the genre it's certainly it's a very entertaining read, and I recommend it! I would read another book by this author, but I might not go seeking it out, as i don't seek out my chick-lit; it finds me.

Another first-reads -- can't wait to receive it! I really wanted this one.(less)

This was the first book by Center that I've read. While I did enjoy the book, there were a couple of things that irritated me.

One thing was the over use of info that was not relevant to the story. There were plenty of times that I skipped over two, three or even four paragraphs of useless, boring info, only to find out that I didn't really miss anything.

The other thing was that the story went back and forth in time way too often. For some books, it works but not for this one. The main character...more

Get Lucky was a pretty good place to start. The novel trods on some serious territory, but with a light touch, and features an appealing - if sometimes frustrating - leading character.

Sarah Harper is a woman who fully invests herself in whatever she's doing - one thing at a time. For the last several years, that singular focus has been applied to her New York City advertising career - most recently, to a bra campaign that looks like it could be her biggest triumph ever. Unfortunately, the triumph is dampened by her being fired the day the campaign is unveiled - even though the e-mail she sent the entire company the night before was vaguely related to the project, it was still highly inappropriate.

But Sarah does tend to act on impulse. Returning home to Houston for the holidays just after being fired, she learns that her sister Mackie has been forced to end her own singular-focus project - trying to get pregnant. It isn't long before Sarah comes up with an idea that will give her a new focus and benefit her sister, too. Surrogate parenthood probably isn't something that should be entered this impulsively, but it's certainly well-intentioned. As her due date approaches, her impulsiveness and good intentions bring Sarah a new job...and the possibility of a very different future.

The story is told through Sarah's first-person narration several years after these events, and Sarah's reflection on them from that perspective is where much of the humor and insight in the novel comes through - looking back, she can see much more clearly how much she didn't see at the time. Many of the complications Sarah didn't foresee are rather obvious to the reader, though - they were to me, at any rate, but that didn't spoil my enjoyment, because I liked Sarah.[

The structure of the book reflects Sarah's "one thing at a time" focus, and I appreciated that the main objects of that focus were her work and her relationship...with her sister. Sisterhood is powerful and often complicated even under the best conditions, and while carrying a pregnancy for your sister is certainly an act of devotion and generosity, it's also pretty risky. I liked the way Center explored Sarah and Mackie's relationship.

Get Lucky was a quick read, one that made me chuckle, made me think a little, and drew me into the lives of its characters.(less)

And though Sarah has certainly already reached adulthood in New York, it takes coming home to Texas for her real coming-of-age odyssey to begin. And it just might take her one big, selfless act to get her back on course.

Center writes with amazing attention to detail and creates vivid, sympathetic and charming characters I can actually see and hear. Our narrator Sarah is far from perfect, but that’s what makes her authentic. And believable. And someone I could root for, having felt like I’d gone on a messy, chaotic and exciting adventure with her.

I’m a sucker for novels about sisters — and this one definitely didn’t disappoint. Separated in age by only a year, Mackie and Sarah’s relationship felt very much like the unpredictable rollercoaster we often experience with our siblings. I loved the exploration of family, too, as the girls struggle to release the pain and feelings of loss surrounding their mother’s death more than a decade prior. Though he wasn’t a huge physical presence in the story, their father, too, played an important part in their development. And I absolutely loved Dixie, their father’s rhinestone-studded cowboy fiancee. What a fun, original character!

To be honest, there wasn’t much I didn’t enjoy about the novel. When it came to Everett Thompson, Sarah’s first boyfriend and reemerging love interest, I would have liked a little more face time — but this wasn’t a traditional romance, so I can’t complain (too much). I was intrigued by their past and loved the pieces of history Mackie or other characters would unearth, feeding to us like slivers of candy. Everett was definitely swoon-worthy and someone I would have enjoyed getting to know a wee bit better!

Based on her novel Everyone Is Beautiful and this most recent offering, Center can do no wrong in my eyes. Read her for her amazing insights into female relationships, motherhood, family and friendship. Or? Just read her because she crafts a fast-paced, well-written and engrossing story. One that’ll stick with me for quite a while.(less)

While this is fiction, there are times when authors stretch what is credible a bit too thin for me.

Sarah decides to go home to regroup and while there, makes a rash decision to be a surrogate for her infertile sister. I thought that this subject matter would make for an interesting storyline but really what we spent most of the book learning about was Sarah's inability to behave in an adult fashion with a man that she had mistreated as a teenager. there were times when I just rolled my eyes at the juvenile behavior she exhibited.

I also really wanted to understand a little better what she felt about giving birth to her sister's children. It just seems that all reallylearn is that she is afraid that she will want the babies back. Even while she was pregnant her detachment felt strange to me. Of course I have never been a surrogate but I have carried my own babies and I just wonder if holding those lives inside her for the period of the pregnancy did not raise some strong feelings of lose or longing or something when the pregnancy was done. We didn't see much other than maybe a mild lethargy some depression? I don't know I just thought there would be a little more.

There is a scene that is so over the top that I couldn't buy into it but I guess people who appreciate more melodrama in their novels will love it.

This is not a bad novel but I have definitely read better. I have no idea what the title refers to it seems to be totally unrelatd to the novel.
I honestly have no idea why Sarah is hung up on her old high school boyfriend and even more to the point why does he want to be with her. THe only time we see them together in the book; she is either being rude to him, he is saying things that offend her, she is behaving in amazingly inappropriate ways toward him i.e. pouring a drink in his lap without any real provocation or they are kissing. Lol I just laughed to myself when they connected at the end and thought to myself sure this relationship has some basis to make it.

I have already said this is not a terrible book but honestly, it's not worth the time or effort to finish, IMHO.(less)

The ONLY reason I even gave this book any stars was because at times, the book could be funny, and I found the characters of Mackie and Dixie to be interesting, likeable characters. Also, the writing wasn't too bad.

I picked this book up because I've been through several miscarriages and therefore have been forced to consider the idea of surrogacy. Therefore, I could identify with Mackie, and her dream to have a baby of her own by a less conventional method. I was excited when her sister, Sarah, decided that she would be happy to provide her body to allow for the babies to grow.

Then, for about oh, 200 pages, all Sarah did was WHINE.

Coming from someone who would give ANYTHING to be able to be pregnant, I mostly just wanted to smack Sarah and tell her to shut the hell up. It's a blessing to be able to be pregnant, even if your hormones are running rampant and you don't feel very good much of the time, and I wish just ONCE Sarah had ever realized that. My heart broke for Mackie having to watch her sister be such an absolute baby about the whole thing, the whole while I'm sure she was thinking how much she'd like to be in her shoes. I was rooting for Mackie to give Sarah some sort of ass-ripping, which never happened, and also disappointed me. She definitely deserved it.

The book was also highly unbelievable. Some of the situations were FAR too coincidental to actually ever happen in real life.

I especially didn't like that Sarah was "too afraid" to go visit the babies she carried for her sister for TWO FULL YEARS. Ok, I'd understand like, a few weeks or something, but TWO YEARS??? She had NINE MONTHS to come to terms with the fact that she was pregnant with babies she wouldn't get to keep! If I were Mackie, I don't think I would have forgiven her.

Dixie, however, was definitely my favorite character. She had a great attitude about life...basically "This is who I am, and if you don't like it, screw you."

All in all, I was highly disappointed by this book. If I ever read another book about this particular issue, I hope that it's not anything like this novel.(less)

That if things hadn't been so bad they could never have gotten so good. And that it's always better to have what you have than to get what you wanted.
