Publisher Description
'You can look at my life in two ways. Some people see a nightmare, some see a fairytale. I've just always thought I was lucky...People often ask me how I did it, this book is my answer. This is my story, everything I've learned along the way, I hope it can help you find your own luck. '
Lottie Tomlinson has gone through a huge amount in her 23 years on this planet. Touring with her brother Louis as a make-up artist with One Direction at the age of 16, you'd think her life was a fairytale. But this only masked the tragedy happening at home, when her mother became ill with leukaemia and died when Lottie was just 18. Leaving behind five smaller siblings, Lottie came home and tried to find a way to hold the family together. But sadly, tragedy struck again when the family lost Lottie's little sister Félicité, at just 18.
Despite all this, incredibly Lottie has built a successful business empire, has a loving stable partner and now is the mother to a beautiful baby boy, called Lucky.
Lucky Girl is Lottie's story of resilience and the lessons she's learned along the way. Going behind the beauty and the fame, Lottie's beautiful memoir explores the rollercoaster of her life, from the darkest days and loneliest nights to the success she found despite it all, and how all the challenges and setbacks have led her to where she is today.
Heartbreaking yet inspirational, Lottie hopes that in telling her story and how she has navigated the pain and grief in her life that she will provide hope for others going through their darkest times.

Amazing
Wow! Couldn’t put this done! Absolutely loved it. You are amazing
Absolutely loved it!!
I have never lost anyone close to me, so I knew before reading Lucky Girl that I would be reading it through a different lens compared to those who have. This book is so beautifully written and truly inspiring. The way Lottie talks about her journey with grief over both her mother’s passing and her sister’s is truly eye-opening.
Grief is different for everyone, and what may work for some might not work for others. By not only discussing her journey with grief, but her family’s too, she acknowledges that. Throughout her book, Lottie talks about her work with Sue Ryder and what it means to her, which allows those going through grief to perhaps find new ways to help them with their journey. She is never telling her readers how they should grieve or what they should do; she is simply explaining her story and what helped her along the way.
My love and admiration for Lottie and the rest of the Tomlinson family have only grown after reading this book. What they’ve been through will always be heartbreaking, but seeing how strong and resilient they all are is truly inspiring.
Getting to see more of Lottie’s personal life has changed my perspective on her for the better. She’s an amazing mother, sister, friend, businesswoman, and most of all, she has such a beautiful soul, which is all thanks to her mother and her family and all the things she has been through, both good and bad.
I cried multiple times while reading the book, both from sadness and joy, but the overall feeling I had when finishing the book was joy. Reading about her journey and how she has found peace and comfort from the things that have happened to her and how she has created this wonderful life for herself and her family is the most heartwarming thing.
I truly hope that Lottie’s book and the message she shares with her readers help others with their journey through grief.
