Cutee! But I kind of want more interaction between the main characters, instead of hearing it through Audrey’s memories for the most part.

This was so fun! I loved the last names (Luck and Love) and the twist. Did not see that coming!

With Any Luck was my first feel for Ashley Poston and it makes me slightly worried. 

I know this is a novella and that for certain authors it can be hard to make you like characters immediately, sometimes that connection with the main characters don't come until later, but I just couldn't with these characters. I hated the trope of the story as it is where Audrey is always the last person to kiss someone before they find the love of their life. It is such a weird trope within the romance genre and I just don't think it ever works that well. 

I felt like the writing was a bit bland as well and that the storyline of a missing groom was also just a bit meh. Nothing in this novella was outright awful, but it was a just a bit of a boring read with an ending that was very unsatisfying.

Was an OK read I wasn't in love with the couple in the story.
