REVIEW:
On first look, Mr Lucky is the autobiography of the ups and downs of a man's life. But digging deeper we see a complex chain of events leading a man to his destiny. A sensitive boy unsupported and misunderstood by a damaged father. A young man discovering and denying his sexuality as he goes through those cocooned years of college.
Out in the big wide world a young man craving love and acceptance celebrating life through the gay scene of the eighties with the almost inevitable shock s as the AIDS crises loomed. A string of loves, losses and compromise until he is set free from the safe but unsatisfying life he has built around him.
This book was nostalgic, funny , certainly shocking, but ultimately a moving story towards love and acceptance.

Tell your stories.
If people wanted you to write warmly about them,
they should’ve behaved better.”
