Lucky in love

3.5

A cute and short book. Maddie was a bit too naïve and shouldn’t have spent all this money in a way she didn’t really want to spend it (renting a yacht for a party, buying expensive af clothes as well as a car for 70.000$ just because she was talked into it). The characters were flat. For example, all I know now is that Maddie is too trusting for her own good and a huge fan of anteaters (#quirky). Her friends proofed to be shitty but I think there wasn’t really a solution for the behaviour of one of them. The following dialogue completely ruined it for me: “But I really want to stay together... um, if you want to. You are perfect for me. I think we balance each other out well.“ Noooo, too sappy! Goodreads, let me give half star ratings because this is definitely a 2.5 stars book!

Now, it's been a hot minute since I've been 18, but I don't remember being this fucking naïve. It's utterly unbelievable to me that Maddie's parents would just let her go around spending hundreds of thousands of dollars like that. It really made me cringe how childish she is.
