Yes. You can also wish someone shanah tovah u'metukah (a good and a sweet year) or l'shanah tovah tikatevu (may you be inscribed for a good year [in the book of life]) or ketivah v'chatimah tovah (a good inscription and seal), but it's not compulsory. Gam lakh is "the same to you" (fem.), I think.
It reminds me a little of the end of "As I was walking on boston common" (slow and sweet, wasn't it? in that picture book? now I'm not sure)
That's it; Norma Farber's As I Was Crossing Boston Common (1975).
As I stood still on Boston Common, they formed a circle, sweet and slow, with everyone pulling someone in tow— beginning with A for Angwantibo in tow to the man, himself in tow— sweet and slow, sweet and slow, surprising and uncommon.

anyway, sweetness is a lovely thing to wish, and goodness of course too.

As I stood still on Boston Common,
they formed a circle, sweet and slow,
with everyone pulling someone in tow—
beginning with A for Angwantibo
in tow to the man, himself in tow—
sweet and slow, sweet and slow,
surprising and uncommon.
Thank you.
kinda late, but

It's not late at all! Rosh Hashanah began yesterday at sunset; it will end with sunset tomorrow. You are perfectly in time.
