Lucky in Love
by Kasie West
Actual rating: 3.5 stars
I'm finding that a pattern here with Kasie West contemporaries in that I cannot quite pinpoint what is underwhelming me about them. The story itself does pick up in the last quarter of it, but it's like most of the book doesn't even matter. It's almost like it's tedious to read the set up that brings you to the end. The main characters always make a ridiculous assumption and then have to deal with the fallout of that as the major climax of the story. I feel like there is no real character growth at all.
This story follows Maddie who has just won 50 million in the lottery. She basically starts wasting all her money immediately (before she even has the money, she starts spending it, as does her family). She makes some really crappy decisions even though she is supposedly this strict Type-A planner type of person. I did really enjoy the love interest and their interactions, but it was just kind of underwhelming.
