Foi o primeiro contato com a escrita da autora, mas achei bem genérica, nesse conto. A história parece algo saído das muitas comédias românticas millenials, então eu gostei, mas foi isso, nada de surpreendente ou envolvente a ponto de querer saber mais. Ainda quero dar oportunidade ao romance "O amor não morreu" que já li e ouvi resenhas boas.

Notes: The 5th in the "The Improbable Meet-Cute" novella series (6 stand-alone novellas released around Valentine's Day 2024), and probably my least favorite, which makes me SO SAD because I love Ashley Poston! (Do not let this novella turn you away from her novels!) I think we just tried to put way too much into way too short of a novella, and it's always hard to do anything any kind of love-triangley in such a short span of pages.

With Any Luck by Ashley Poston is the fifth book in the Improbable Meet Cute series. A very cute story about the two best friends of a marrying couple. 

Narrated by Amy McFadden.

I love Poston’s writing, I just think this short story would’ve been better fleshed out in a full-length book. The “meet-cute” theme wasn’t entirely accurate I’d say and the characters deserved more. Still, it was pretty cute.
