Lucky in Love
by Kasie West
Kasie West typically releases cuter and dearer books than Lucky in Love, but it was still okay. I use these sweet and uncomplicated books as palate cleansers, of sort. I don't have to think too hard, the plot isn't complex—they are just nice, cozy comfortable stories.
The story was a little lacking here. I feel like the springboard idea was interesting (a just-turned eighteen year old wins the lottery and, of course, finds love in the course of the events), but the rolls, tucks, and flips that came between the beginning and the end were a little too thin and light, even for this light YA romance.
Nostalgia plays a heavy role in my enjoyment of these books by West. Aside from the sweetness of the stories (usually) and the easy read they provide, they remind me of my eleven or twelve year old self, reading the hand-me-down copies of the Sweet Dreams Series and other books I'd order from those book club order forms (Troll, Apple, etc.) during elementary and middle school.
