Just Our Luck by Julia Walton
4.0
Just Our Luck by Julia Walton is a coming of age story told through Leo's journal entries. Leo has an anxiety disorder, is bullied, and finds solace in the solitary hobbies of photography, knitting, and crochet - all things that make him less than popular with his high school peers. When he finds himself developing unlikely friendships and support with his yoga class, his bully, and a girl whose family cursed his family generations ago, he evolves into a healthier and braver young man.
I enjoyed this book. I identified immediately with Leo's issues with anxiety and his sensory issues and found the developing friendships a pleasant, unexpected touch. I think that it is a novel that everyone can learn from as messages of resiliency, friendship, healing a family after grief, and maintaining healthy coping strategies are front and center throughout the narrative.
