From the New York Times bestselling author of Just Haven’t Met You Yet, This Time Next Year, and Before I Do
‘Sophie’s books are always filled with warmth, but she’s outdone herself here. It’s the definition of a feel-good read! Funny, poignant, and heartfelt, I fell head-over-heels for this one’ LAURA JANE WILLIAMS
Lucy Young is only twenty-six, but she’s exhausted. She’s tired of bad dates, being on the bottom rung at work, and living off Rice Krispies.
She’s ready to skip to the good part.
The part where she’s happily married, running the office, and never even thinking about her overdraft.
But you should be careful what you wish for . . .

A fresh, heartwarming work of art, The Good Part left me buried under an avalanche of emotions and with a new appreciation for the life's small, beautiful moments. This is a book to read twice - once to feverishly tear through the pages and a second time to savour
A fun loving romp, The Good Part is a delight to read. With characters that are full of heart, this book is the reminder we all need to stop and relish all the moments along the way to whatever our dream life looks like. I couldn't put it down!
No matter where you are in life, The Good Part is a highly relatable read. This charming and poignant timeslip story had me considering my own experiences from a new perspective and with a renewed sense of gratitude. Sophie Cousens is one of a select few authors I will happily allow to break my heart again and again because it's just such a pleasure to find out how she'll mend it. I laughed, I sobbed, and I enjoyed every word
The Good Part is such a good concept - I was totally hooked. Sophie's books are always filled with warmth, but she's outdone herself here. It's the definition of a feel-good read! Funny, poignant, and heartfelt, I fell head-over-heels for this one.
Warm, witty and wise. I defy anyone not to fall for both Lucy and Sam. THE GOOD PART is just wonderful.
Warmth and joy wrapped up into one very lovely book, The Good Part is a reminder that sometimes the messiest days are also the best days. An absolute must-read.
The Good Part is one of the most heartfelt and wonderful books I've read all year. I laughed, I cried, I never wanted it to end... and it's exactly the message that twenty-something me needs. Sophie writes romance so beautifully, and Lucy's journey of self-discovery and acceptance felt like a warm hug!
Best-selling Cousens knocks it out of the park with this whimsical story that is reminiscent of the movie 13 Going on 30 . . . This heartfelt and unique romcom will have readers on the edges of their seats up to the emotional conclusion
A truly magical read! This book has it all, laughs, tears and a whole lot of heart
I completely loved The Good Part. It's everything a rom-com should be; hilarious, full of heart and warmth, all while being a brilliantly compelling and readable story. Sophie is officially a genius and I'm her number one fan
A fun. brilliant read.
Swoonworthy, laugh-out-loud funny and beautifully tender. Sophie's best yet!
I loved this high-concept romcom, which constantly kept me guessing.
This fun and emotional read (we def sobbed!) is a total treat.
One for fans of 13 Going on 30, this brings laughs and heartache in equal measure
A beautifully observed romcom
A hilarious, heartfelt read
This fun tale has a fantasy twist reminding us 'be careful what you wish for'.
