The Lucky List is a wonderfully emotional coming of age story by Rachel Lippincott. Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers for the digital copy in exchange for honest review.
This is quintessential summer reading and I felt like I was in Huckabee with Emily, Blake, and the crew. Lippincott really excelled at writing a realistic setting and impactful characters. Heavily emotional at times, I especially enjoyed the hopefulness that Emily displayed and the romance element(s) added some lighthearted fun.
The Lucky List is definitely a book I would recommend to YA fans. Especially those looking for a nice summer read with some depth.

Loss, grief, friendship and adventure - sums us Rachael Lippincott's latest ✨THE LUCKY LIST✨
🌿A lucky duo, Emily and her mother have always been the talk of the town. There was no risk Emily wouldn't take, because she knew that as long as she had her mother by her side, she was invincible.
Present day Emily, overwhelmed by grief at the loss of her mother, is a shell of the person she once was. With her armour of statistics at what could possibly go wrong in any given situation, she is losing friends.
🌻One fine summer, she meets Blake and that's when life takes a turn. While cleaning her mum's closet, she finds a bucket list her mother had once made and Emily thinks this might be the way to bringing herself back to who she was and making he deceased mother happy.
✨The Lucky List✨ packs in a whirlwind of emotions with a slow burn romance and a 'finding and accepting yourself' trope. Emily discovers her sexuality and comes to terms with it. And all along the way, she has Blake by her side.
This *solo debut* can be read in a single sitting as the plot truly hooks you in. The perfect small town romance, that deals with greater issues such as dealing with grief over a deceased parent and how to overcome it without losing yourself.

I absolutely adored this book. It was full of sadness and grief and teenage angst, but it was also full of hope and the joy that comes with finally coming into your own, as well as a swoon-worthy f/f romance. I have so many students that love books like this -- summer romances that will make them laugh and swoon and cry all at the same time -- and I can't wait to recommend this one to them!
Thank you to Simon & Schuster for the review copy.
