Lottie Tomlinson has released her heart wrenching, insightful but uplifting memoir, Lucky Girl.
You can look at my life in two ways. Some people see a nightmare; some see a fairytale. I’ve just always thought I was lucky…People often ask me how I did it; this book is my answer. This is my story, everything I’ve learned along the way, I hope it can help you find your own luck. ‘
Lottie Tomlinson has gone through a huge amount in her 23 years on this planet. Touring with her brother Louis as a make-up artist with One Direction at the age of 16, you’d think her life was a fairytale. But this only masked the tragedy happening at home, when her mother became ill with leukaemia and died when Lottie was just 18. Leaving behind five smaller siblings, Lottie came home and tried to find a way to hold the family together. But sadly, tragedy struck again when the family lost Lottie’s little sister Félicité, at just 18.
Despite all this, incredibly Lottie has built a successful business empire, has a loving stable partner and now is the mother to a beautiful baby boy, called Lucky.
Heartbreaking yet inspirational, Lottie hopes that in telling her story and how she has navigated the pain and grief in her life that she will provide hope for others going through their darkest times.
Lucky Girl is Lottie’s story of resilience and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Going behind the beauty and the fame, Lottie’s beautiful memoir explores the rollercoaster of her life, from the darkest days and loneliest nights to the success she found despite it all, and how all the challenges and setbacks have led her to where she is today.
Lottie with the help of ghost writer Jennifer Obidike has crafted a memoir that conveys Lottie’s life so far, the hardships and the good bits. She shows she is much more than just Louis Tomlinson’s little sister or that girl who toured with One Direction. It’s an insight in to the challenges she’s faced because of those labels and opinions on her.
Lucky Girl sees Lottie struggle personally and professionally to believe in herself. It’s her growing in to the confident business woman and content creator we see today. A woman who knows who she is, who has lost so much, who cherishes and loves her family and her friends with everything that she has. While not shying away from exploring her own thoughts around grief having lost her mum and sister at such a young age. She gives lots of advice on the subject while admitting grieving is a very personal process. Lottie is very open on how she feels we as society need to make grief a less taboo subject.
It’s easy to see reading Lucky Girl why she is an ambassador for The Sue Ryder Charity. Through her own experience of bereavement, Lottie is passionate about working with the charity by sharing her story, just like she has with Lucky Girl and helping to build awareness of the services and resources they offer to help others going through similar experiences.
Lucky Girl is a book that tells Lottie’s story so far but also has the potential to help so many who are grieving feel less alone.
