I was *lucky* enough to win this ARC from a Goodreads giveaway.
I've loved everything Jenn Bennett has put out and this is no exception. I fell in love with Josie right away and her relationship with her mom frustrated me (in a good way) from the beginning. I immediately wanted to know everything about Lucky and Josie's relationship and I love when you fall in love with a book family and I so want to go to a Sunday dinner at the Karras'.

This had some of the elements I really enjoy in Jenn Bennett's novels--a charming fictional setting and a sweet romance between the main character and her love interest--but the manufactured misunderstanding that crops up in the last fifty pages was very frustrating to read and felt like it was inserted solely to stretch the book out a bit longer.

“Because I saw you, and it just felt like everything that had gone wrong in my life just magically healed … like I’d been walking around all broken, and all my broken pieces suddenly reconnected.”
“Oh,” I whisper on a soft exhale.
He groans. “That sounds stupid.”
“Not at all. I’m magic,” I tease. “That’s what you’re saying.”

Chasing Lucky was a very fluffy, fun and cute read! Jenn Bennet's writing is so easy to read and always just transports me completely into her stories. Childhood best friends-to-lovers is my favourite trope! The main character's family runs a small indie bookstore! There's an amazing grandma character! This book has everything I love. Chasing Lucky has really solidified Jenn Bennet as one of my favourite YA contemporary romance authors.
This book is just what I needed to get me through the stress of the last week of this school term.

Very Sarah Dessen vibes which I realize you can say about many contemporary YA romances but this one especially with the mix of family dysfunction and small town constraints feels like a Dessen book I've read. My one small nitpick is I think Lucky could have been a touch stronger as a character. He was a little too reliant on the bad boy with a secret heart of gold trope and needed more space to be more realized.
