Just Our Luck by Denise Williams

3.0

This book had an amazing premise and it started out STRONG. I instantly loved Sybil and the meet cute with a bang (literally) I was like okayyy. But then I just didn't love Kiran and his attitude was not great for the start of the book.  Also I think we were supposed to hate Sybil's mom and while YES it drove me nuts how she spoke to Sybil sometimes, I think she had some valid points. I also come from a family where we all joke about each other, so that part didn't seem so egregious to me, but I get why she could feel hurt by it. I don't think Sybil is a screw up; I think she is adorable head in the clouds adhd.  However, I think that part of her was not really well fleshed out.  Like she never "holds down a job" but also works for a temp agency so like.... that's what happens. I can't event tell if / what she wants as a regular job.  The romance also just fell flatish for me. Like I love a fake dating storyline, but it never really felt fake, especially with the way they met, so even that troupe didn't hold my attention.  Also, the winning the lottery thing was like a minor blip and barely influenced the story so I wanted more of that if that was the ploy. A lot of the plot was just going in circles

Overall, I felt like this was an okay, light story but missing a lot of the pull and development to make it great.
