Lucky Star by Susannah Nix
5.0
4.5/5
Lucky Star is the fourth book in the Starstruck series, which is a set of companion novels about heartthrobs who capture the hearts of a relatable person. This book is a fake dating, forced proximity, slow-burn that I absolutely adored.
I am a huge fan of Susannah Nix's romances, they have relatable characters, with tons of chemistry and lots of steam. There is so much to love about this book, starting with the banter between the two main characters, Eve and Boone. I loved having the characters perspectives, I think that it really added to the story. Although they were relative strangers, you could see the chemistry between these two from their first conversation.
The fake dating trope was bang on in this book. It built up and seemed so natural. I absolutely loved their dates. Boone was such a kind soul that gave so much to Eve, but not in an over-eager way. It seemed real and natural. Also, I am so glad there is no "miscommunication" trope added as a conflict, as so many romances have. This had a natural conflict in two different ways, which I thought felt like a good fit in the story.
The author again captures mental health issues, such as anxiety, and the aftermath of a toxic relationship with a caring and compassionate lens. I loved how Boone and Eve both were so respectful of each others struggles and talked through it so many different times.
I loved this book, and it would be a perfect summer beach read! Thank you to Susannah Nix for a copy of this book! All opinions are 100% mine.
