Chasing Lucky by Jenn Bennett

4.0

I’ve only read one of Jenn Bennett’s books before Chasing Lucky and honestly I don’t know why it took me so long to read my second book. Bennett has a way of writing that completely captivates you in the story and makes you feel like you’re living alongside these characters.

When I started this book I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy it. I’ve been having a lot of trouble recently YA contemporary stories and was honestly scared after I found myself struggling to get into the first few chapters. However, I had faith in Bennett’s work so powered through and thank god I did. I found myself absolutely loving this story and the characters.

The banter between the two main characters were spot on and found that they both had really good character development. At times Josie and Lucky frustrated me but their teenagers who are still learning who they are and what they want from life. They’re learning from their own mistakes and I found myself loving the growth of their relationship.

This is a book about family, friendship and learning to be honest with people. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick paced, romantic contemporary and any fans of Jenn Bennett’s other books!

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
