Absolutely. Loved. This. I cannot stress enough how much I love this book! I swear Jenn Bennett never misses! I adored the MC, Josie. The relationship between Josie and Lucky was adorable, I was cheesing way too hard with certain parts. Lucky is just…WOW. I’m convinced there are no men in real life that can compare to the fictional ones Jenn Bennett writes, they are literally perfect, I swear! Overall I thought this was a really cute story, I really enjoyed reading about Josie’s family as well. It somehow made it feel more personal, I loved that. 10/10 recommend!!

Ich weiß gar nicht so recht was ich zu diesem Buch schreiben soll.
Auf der einen Seite fand ich den Schreibstil der Autorin mal wieder traumhaft. So detailliert und atmosphärisch

This is my third Jenn Bennett book. I really liked Lucky as well as some of the supporting characters but found that this is my least favorite of what I've read so far. I will probably still pick up future books, but won't be buying them anymore.
Love love LOVE! My full review for Chasing Lucky is available on Fangirl Fury.
I keep giving Jenn Bennet a chance, because I loved Alex, Approximately, but I didn't like Starry Eyes or Serious Moonlight. But, I think at this point, I might need to stop because I simply just don't like the writing.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Jenn Bennett is one of my favorite YA authors. Her stories always have swoons and seriousness and are amazing. I first fell in love with her books with Alex, Approximately and my love has only grown. Even when one of her books isn’t one of my favorites I still fall more and more in love with her writing. And Chasing Lucky, although not my favorite of her books, did help that love grow.
Chasing Lucky is the story of Josie, a girl that has been missing her home for 5 years. When she was 12 her mom took her away from the home she knew in New England and they have been bouncing around from place to place ever since. That is until they find themselves back where they started. Now Josie is trying to find her footing but not get too attached since she knows she won;t be there forever. But when something happens and her childhood best friend, Lucky, takes the blame, Josie find she may have something she wants to stick around for. While the two of them spend the summer rekindling their friendship and learning about the new people they have become Josie does the one thing she tried not, makes a connection that puts down some roots.
I really loved Lucky in Chasing Lucky. For me he was the best part of the book. He was a complicated guy but underneath it all he was a sweet boy that just wanted his best friend back. He went through a really rough time when Josie left, right when he needed her the most. Seeing them reform their friendship and what it became was a highlight for me. But I admit I struggled the Josie a lot. She was really frustrating. I didn’t understand some of her thought processes it was hard for me to connect with her. She did have great chemistry with Lucky which I appreciate in a good book.
Although I struggled with Josie and wish there had been a few less side stories I did really enjoy Chasing Lucky. It was a quintessential Jenn Bennett book. It had heart and emotion to it which I why I will be a fan of her stuff for a long, long time. I recommend picking this one up.
