"The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck" is a modern fairytale that combines the charm of "Pretty Woman" with the whimsy of "The Princess Bride." It takes readers on an endearing and entertaining journey into the life of Lilah Goodluck, who inadvertently saves the life of a witch and clairvoyant named Good Witch Willow. Little does Lilah know that this good deed will set her on a path filled with unexpected twists and supernatural predictions.

After rescuing Willow, the clairvoyant reveals a series of unsettling prophecies for Lilah. These predictions include revelations about infidelity, the identity of her supposed soulmate (Alistair George Arthur Lennox), missing out on a promotion, winning lottery numbers, and the shocking prospect of her impending death next Sunday.

At first, Lilah finds these predictions too absurd to believe. How could her seemingly sick boyfriend be cheating on her? But her life takes a sudden turn when she has an unexpected encounter with Alistair, akin to the classic moments in movies like "Sliding Doors" or "Bridget Jones's Diary." Strike one!

Things take another unfortunate turn when her unappreciative and exploitative boss unjustly awards a coveted promotion to someone else. Strike two!

As Lilah's world unravels further, she finds herself in a car accident, coming dangerously close to colliding with an Aston Martin. To her astonishment, the other driver turns out to be none other than Alistair George Arthur Lennox, the very man Willow foresaw as her soulmate. Can this really be happening?

Stunned by these peculiar events, Lilah seeks refuge in checking the lottery numbers, only to discover that she's now considerably richer. However, the ominous prediction of her impending death next Sunday lingers over her. She refuses to accept her fate and starts compiling a bucket list, just in case the prediction proves true. Instead of succumbing to despair or outright denial, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery and adventure. She also finds an unexpected companion in Prince Charming Alistair, who is determined to help her tick items off her bucket list.

Alistair sweeps Lilah off her feet and takes her on a whirlwind tour, including a scenic drive along the Pacific Highway, a visit to Ladyship Helen for absinthe, and an exquisite meal at Helen's house, thanks to her insistence on spiritual cleansing. While the paparazzi believe Lilah to be Alistair's latest conquest, she gradually uncovers the caring, sweet, and somewhat enigmatic man beneath his aloof exterior. What if the predictions were right, and they are indeed soulmates? Can their budding relationship withstand the impending royal scandal, the relentless paparazzi, and the grim prediction of Lilah's impending death?

Overall, the romantic aspects of Lilah and Alistair's relationship may seem a tad rushed, but this book offers a delightful fairytale experience where a quirky librarian meets a bad boy in a rebound scenario before finding true love. The story is a fast-paced and thoroughly enjoyable read, with captivating supporting characters, particularly the endearing Lady Helen. As a devoted fan of Kylie Scott's works, I wholeheartedly recommend "The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck" to anyone seeking an escape from reality and a lighthearted romance that will leave you with a smile.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing/Graydon House for providing me with a digital reviewer copy of this entertaining book in exchange for my honest thoughts.

I really liked the premise of this novel but I guess I didn't realize how much of the second half was going to revolve around Ali and the royal drama, which I wasn't as interested in (though his mother was great). Also I felt like the sex scenes were a bit cringey? Was it just me? Am I a prude now? I can't pinpoint what it was exactly but they weren't doing it for me. Overall this was a fun read though.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Liah saves Good Witch Willow and was gifted 5 predictions. She didn't believe it at first but she starts to panic when the first few predictions come true within 24 hours. She nearly crashes into Alistair- the illegitimate son of the British King. Unfortunately, the last prediction is that she will die next Sunday.

A very fun book. Love both main characters. They are terrific together. Like a lot of Kylie Scott books. there's a little magic in it. A fun escapism read.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.
