375 pages; Counterpoint
In Erika Carter's coolly enigmatic debut, Lucky You, three 20-something waitresses desperately need to get their lives together. Ellie has taken to numbing her angst with booze and hookups. During fits of anxiety, Chloe literally pulls out her hair. And Rachel's feeble stabs at happiness entail bending to the will of a seductive amateur guru. Their solution? Bolt the college town where things have veered off course and take up residence together in a remote mountain cabin. Suffice it to say, problem not solved.
