There's descriptions of Lauren's posts, which range from promoting green smoothies to gushing over her dream wedding to her millionaire businessman beau Gavin - and, naturally, we get a glimpse of the comments from her followers, which are pretty evenly split between ever-adoring fans and people who are trolling her.
It's through the eyes of the other two narrators - Ruby and Lauren's wedding planner Beth - that the readers get their unfiltered glimpses of Lauren.
Throughout the book, Beth - Lauren's wedding planner - is told how lucky she is that she "has it all": she's the "girl boss" with the picture-perfect husband who has taken an extended paternity leave so she can return to work.
Her 26-year-old assistant Risky (her mum let her siblings name her) consistently tells Beth how she is just so lucky. But Beth feels as if Risky is the lucky one (not that she would openly admit it): being able to have the freedom to do whatever, with whomever, she wants.
Meanwhile, Beth hasn't had sex in a year - and her husband seems more loving towards her mum-in-law than to her.
So Lucky brings the trio of narrators together in a laugh-out-loud twist that, honestly, we didn't seem coming - but ultimately, the book is a story about the incredible power of friendship and of women supporting women.
