Donut lovers rejoice! ‘Just Our Luck’ is going to make you crave a wide range of donut flavours and honestly, you’ll want every kind after reading this book.

At times Sybil can be extremely immature that my face would scrunch up while reading her dialogue and situations she’s in and places other characters in. Not my favourite leading female character (I’m not a big fan of flighty, devil may care, character types) but I know so many of you will like her. I had hope that she would grow on me in the course of the novel but I’m ok with how I feel. 🤷🏽‍♀️

On the other hand, Kieran is the donut making king. He leaves medical school and helps his grandfather’s donut shop stay afloat. He’s all hustle and heart. He agrees to Sybil’s scheme to pretend to be in a relationship for the media (to help his grandfather’s business) and her family. I just find him to be solid.

Overall, this is a 3 star read for me. Thanks Berkley Romance and NetGalley for the ARC!

Halfway through this book, all I could think about is how relieving it could be to be with someone who accepts you as you are. To be loved by someone who acknowledges your faults and ensures you don’t internalize them. Denise Williams skillfully portrays Syb and Kieran’s journey of understanding, acceptance, and growth, making their love story both relatable and heartwarming (even the winning the lottery part). The dialogue is sharp, filled with humor and genuine emotion, and the character development is rich, which allowed me to really connect with the characters and celebrate when they overcome their challenges. Ultimately, this book is not just a romance; it’s a portrayal of love's ability to bridge differences. A must-read for anyone who appreciates nuanced depictions of relationships in the face of personal challenges.

Just god damn, this was perfection. I loved the new to me take on romance with the lottery winnings- I just thought that was a cool and interesting meet cute moment. The cover is absolutely beautiful and my girl Sybil is the best!
