Sybil hasn’t found herself to be very lucky in life, but a late night encounter with a handsome baker named Kiran and tasty donuts is just what she needed. She leaves behind her lottery ticket, which might be lucky for her in more than one way. Kiran creates a viral video to find Sybil, and they concoct a fake dating scheme to benefit them both.
What I liked:
- Kiran’s grandpa
- Body neutrality and plus size representation
- Mixed race couple representation
-Fake dating
What didn’t work for me:
- the conflict (it changed my perception of both characters)
- Sybil’s lack of awareness of money and terrible choices (multiple times)
