Shari plays tennis at dawn to avoid her husband. It's not that hard. Gary is actively avoiding her. Eva built up her small business but can't build a decent relationship. Steve is too busy finding himself—and other women—to give Eva the attention she craves.
And that's only two of the four couples.
Set across one bittersweet Bay Area spring, Lucky, Lucky People is a comedy of manners with the manners removed. Sharp and tender, it's the perfect antidote to your book club book.
She thinks her marriage is just going through a rough patch. He thinks someone on the side can't hurt anyone. Turns out, they're both wrong.
He wishes she weren't smoking hot so he could walk away. She wishes he weren't smoking hot so she could dump him—and then walk away. Turns out, smoking hot might not cut it.
She wishes he cared more. He wishes she would care less. Turns out, wishes don't always come true.
He wants it all: a wife, a home, and a cute little kid. She wants a career she loves. Turns out, it's really hard to make both dreams come true.
