Last year, we reviewed Lottie Tomlinson’s best-selling, heart-wrenching, insightful, and uplifting memoir, Lucky Girl. It has now been released in paperback, and we gave it a re-read; we still adore it. It’s a heartbreaking but uplifting story that shows Lottie’s resilience and will help many who read it.
‘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.
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.
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.
Some books don’t just tell a story—they feel like a conversation with a friend, a warm hand reaching out in the darkest moments. Lucky Girl by Lottie Tomlinson is one of those books. Raw, heartfelt, and deeply personal, this memoir is a testament to resilience, love, and the ability to find light even in the darkest of times.
Lottie’s life has been a whirlwind—glamorous on the outside but marked by unimaginable loss. Touring the world with her brother’s band as a teenager, she seemed to be living a dream, but behind the scenes, she was facing heartbreak most people couldn’t imagine. Losing her mother to leukemia at just 18, and then her younger sister Félicité soon after, she was thrust into a grief so heavy it could have broken her. Instead, she fought to keep going—not just for herself, but for her family.
This book is not just about loss, though. It’s about survival. It’s about finding purpose in pain, about pushing forward even when life knocks you down again and again. It’s about the love that carries us through. Lottie’s journey—from grief to healing, from heartbreak to happiness—is both devastating and uplifting. Her words are honest, vulnerable, and deeply moving, making Lucky Girl feel like a hug in book form.
Her story reminds us that even in the face of overwhelming loss, joy can still be found. That we are stronger than we ever believe. That love, in all its forms, is the thing that saves us.
A powerful, deeply moving memoir filled with love, loss, and the kind of hope that stays with you long after you turn the last page.
