Lucky Few by Kathryn Ormsbee
2.0
I started this book back in July of 2016 and went through around 50% before dropping it. I mostly put it on hold due to a growing reading slump, life taking over and most importantly for this book - it just wasn't working for me.
A few days ago I decided to give it another go, as I felt bad leaving it half unfinished. This attempt ended with me finally reading the whole thing, but liking it even less.
My biggest issue with this book were the characters. Not to mention, it had no plot whatsoever. I didn't care for Stevie (you're not the Normal type Stevie, you're the BORING type), I didn't care for Sanger, I didn't care for Max. And most importantly I didn't care what they did and whether they were talking or arguing. The only semi-interesting character was Joel, and it's a shame he wasn't more multidimensional.
You should've said "Unequivocally, no" Stevie and this entire torture could've ended then and there.

But Sanger wasn’t one for silent looks. She had the guts to just ask me out loud, “Don’t we like this guy?” And I didn’t have the guts to say, “Unequivocally, no.” Which meant we ended up sitting on the bank of Barton Springs Pool, listening to Max Garza’s explanation.
