Lucky Girl by Jamie Pacton

5.0

Trigger Warnings for Parental Death (Off Page), Parental Mental Illness, and Hoarding.

This book captured the feeling of living in the midwest (especially in a small town) incredibly accurately, and Jesse Vilinsky honestly made my workday with her Midwestern accent. (Even if the Australian accent was grating)

This book was honestly probably my favorite book I've read this Summer. I enjoyed it from beginning to end, and towards the end had me tearing up to the point I had to go hide in the break room to ensure no one saw.

I enjoyed the growth of Jane shown throughout this book. She constantly works to be a better person. She also has some amazing friends as support throughout this book. I also liked the fact that the way Jane's Mother's Mental Health is shown felt real for me.

This book is honestly fun from beginning to end, and I would recommend it full-heartedly. Jane is bi and while the romance is shown isn't of the gay variety. But I have the urge to deep it "It's Gay, and It Slaps" Because just because you're with a guy doesn't make you not bi.
