Just Our Luck by Julia Walton

5.0

I absolutely loved this story. Leo, of Greek heritage, suffers from extreme anxiety. He makes his way through the world focusing on photography, knitting and talking to his YaiYai as a way to cope. His relationship with his dad isn’t great; there’s a big lack of communication between the two since Leo’s Mom and YaiYai have died. Plus there’s a long standing curse hanging over his head, hindering a growing relationship with Evey, the great-granddaughter of the woman who placed the curse on Leo’s family. I loved how his relationship grew over time with Evey, Drake and Jen. This book was so well written, allowing me as the reader to walk in the shoes of a young man who deals with high anxiety on a daily basis.
