Lucky Break is charming, messy, and surprisingly heartfelt—a mix of chaos and personal growth that made for an entertaining read. The main character’s journey through sudden job loss, friendship shifts, and unexpected love was relatable, even when things got a little over the top. I liked the themes of reinvention and figuring it out in your 30s, though a few plot points felt a touch too convenient. Still, the writing is fun and breezy, and the emotional moments gave it a bit more weight than your average rom-com.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 stars
Rated PG-13 for language, romantic content, and adulting angst.

Eliza leaves her home in San Francisco to buy a sight unseen home on a lake in a small Midwestern town. Throughout the story she grows and discovers a lot about herself and what it means to be a friend. I loved the fact that the character development was without all of the back and forth that can sometimes cause a story to be tedious. I highly recommend for a feel good story with charachter growth that will have you rooting for her!

Eliza`s life implodes and her engagement is off. So instead of sticking to her planned life she moves to Juneberry Lake to start over. The town is so sweet that they have someone show you around. This book had a mystery, neighbor drama, romance, and coming into one's own. I liked Eliza and felt for her throughout the book. She felt left out, not good enough, and overstepped. I did feel like this book was a tad long but besides that this was a win. A great summer read that hits a bunch of genres.
