Title: The Good Luck of Right Now
Author: Matthew Quick
Genre: Contemporary fiction
Pages: 284
Published: 2014
38-year-old Bartholomew Neil has always lived with his mother and when she dies, he has no idea how to be on his own. While going through his mother's things, he finds a "Free Tibet" form letter from Richard Gere. Since at the end of his mother's life, she was calling him Richard, he believes that Richard Gere must be his life guide, so he begins chronicling his life in a series of letters to the actor.
The premise of this book sounded really interesting and I've heard raves reviews of Silver Linings Playbook, both the book and the movie, which Matthew Quick also wrote, so I had really high expectations. I was a little disappointed, in that I thought the book was pretty good, but not outstanding. If you are deeply offended by foul language, I would not recommend this, as the character Max has a terrible potty mouth. Overall, an okay read, but not one of my favorites.
