Love & Luck by Jenna Evans Welch
1.0
*1.75*
this book was an impulse buy and i think at this point i should not be left alone with my impulsivity. love and luck was expectedly disappointing, i'm currently thanking god that this only cost me 100 pesos but still this entire book could've been an email or something.
the thing is, the story could've been great, life-changing even! but unfortunately miss jenna welch wanted to play it safe and (sorry !) but i'm judging her for it:
1. cubby's bitch annoying pathetic ass
- i wish this entire storyline was handled better. the way it ended felt empty and missed a more in-depth exploration of the effects that that situation could have on people. it just felt so surface level ugh.
2. addie (mostly her relationship with her brother)
- idk if im dumb but i dont understand why she got mad when she found out he had a secret life in music journalism like no way you're getting that bothered over a secret ??? but then again, i could be wrong bc im an only-child.
3. rowan's relationship with his parents
- just like the cubby storyline, i also wish this was handled better. really, i hated how the book treated emotional moments like a lifetime movie. i know this book doesn't have to be all shakespearean and shit but my god at least try.
i will say that i only liked one thing!! and it's addie's friendship with rowan. hate to say it but props to miss jenna for keeping any romances out of this book <3
