"This book is cleverly written and a fun read. The story while fantastical leaves room to consider reincarnation as a possibility sans the ability for an animal to actually speak as a human does."—Book Pleasures

In Debra Finerman’s newest novel, you find out in chapter one that Jake (husband of Emma) has been killed in a car crash. Well not quite. Seems his dog was in the car at the time of the crash and now somehow Jake finds himself alive, but living in the body of his dog.  Oh, and he can talk too.  So, suspend all disbelief and go with the flow, and you will find this a fun and funny, delightful beach read.  And dog lovers will give this an added star. —The Three Tomatoes

"For dog lovers like me, this book is such a pleasure to read and dig your canines into while chewing a rubber ducky. I was having a ruff day earlier when I started reading You Lucky Dog by Debra Finerman, and before I knew it, I was wagging my eyebrows and chomping on my stuffed teddy bear while laughing out loud at Jake the Dog and Emma the human. This has been such a paws-itively happy, funny and terrier-ific story!" —Coffeeholic Bookworm

"This was a very unusual but heart-warming read. You Lucky Dog deals with themes of life and death and how true love never dies. Jake is a highly likeable character and some of his exploits as he gets to grips with his new doggy identity make for humorous reading. The story is well plotted with twists and turns with an array of fun characters (both human and canine) and is wonderful escapism." —Chicklit

"A really heart-warming story of love, loss, a potential second chance to at least have the chance to have your love back and say goodbye (in this case though she doesn’t have to right now). The story also has its funny moments when Jake has to learn to live as a dog. That means taking poops, playing with toys, dealing with other dogs, scratching, licking and getting groomed. If you like dogs and love stories this is the book for you." —Red Carpet Crash
