Chasing Lucky by Jenn Bennett

3.0

Chasing Lucky is typical Jenn Bennett: romantic and sexy, but with depth and emotion.

Josie has not been back to her hometown of Beauty, Rhode Island for 5 years, after her mom and grandma had an explosive argument causing Josie and her mom to flee. Now, they are back to run the family bookstore while grandma is traveling. As soon as Josie and her mom are back in town, old issues creep up. Their family is at the center of gossip and drama and Josie is left to navigate this after being gone so long.

And there is Josie's former best friend, Lucky, who was in the hospital the night she left. Lucky has a chip on his shoulder and is the town outcast. But Lucky and Josie are soon drawn back together after Josie makes a stupid mistake and Lucky takes the fall.

As Josie and Lucky reconnect and Josie starts to find her footing back in Beauty, Josie has to figure out what she wants for her future, reconcile the relationship between her and her mom, and dig up the past of her father.

Bennett is a master at teen romance and her stories are always very sex positive, which is unusual in teen stories. Chasing Lucky is no different. It delivers a swoony romance, but also battles issues of family and friendship.
