If you're looking for amazing young adult romance 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙇𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙮 is book for you!
I love Lucky and Josie, one of my favorite young adult couples and you can't never go wrong with childhood best friends and one moved away, and now when they back, they are turned into enemies to friends to lovers with a lot of angst.
Their banter is so much fun and heartfelt plus they have so much passion for their art I just devoured it.
Jenn writing is so addicting and well crafted I seriously could read about these two forever.

Thanks NetGalley for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Having read all of the author's previous YA contemporary books and loving two of them - the other two not so much - my expectations for this one were high and I'm so glad to say that I was not disappointed. This was exactly the kind of book I was expecting from the author.

This one is about Josie, who is returning to her hometown with her mother, after jumping from city to city for years. Only that when she left town all those years ago, she also left a best friend: Lucky, who was going through some tough time and now that she's back, he's changed quite a bit. Plus, we also have all the problematic issues regarding her mother and all other family members.

First of all, let me just say that I read this one in basically 24 hours! It's not so unusual for me, but still, not all the books I read are this compelling. The author's writing is extremely gripping and every time I finished a chapter, I just couldn't help but jumping to the next one.

I love how the relationship evolved between Josie and Lucky. I love the trope best friends to enemies to lovers and that's exactly what we have here, and let me tell you: it's so well done. I love their dialogue, their chemistry and how they understood each other.

The personal development of Josie is also very well done. All of her goals - she wants to be a professional photographer -, her relationship with her mother and absent father and also the other women in her family. There's drama, humor and I just loved all of them. Of course it wasn't perfect, since the characters had certain attitudes which annoyed me very much, but it didn't spoil the book at all.

I highly recommend if you like this trope and heart-warming YA contemporary books :)
