Maddie's not impulsive. She's all about hard work and planning ahead. But one night, on a whim, she buys a lottery ticket. And then, to her astonishment --She wins!In a flash, Maddie's life is unrecognizable. No more stressing about college scholarships. Suddenly, she's talking about renting a yacht. And being in the spotlight at school is fun... until rumors start flying, and random people ask her for loans. Now, Maddie isn't sure who she can trust. Except for Seth Nguyen, her funny, charming coworker at the local zoo. Seth doesn't seem aware of Maddie's big news. And, for some reason, she doesn't want to tell him. But what will happen if he learns her secret? With tons of humor and heart, Kasie West delivers a million-dollar tale of winning, losing, and falling in love.

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!
A pretty good case to show that there is no perfect author. I normally love Kasie West's books immensely but Lucky in Love was not for me. Maddie was infuriating. She acted irresponsible and I felt that her character was confusing. On the one hand she seems like a really focused, clever and confident person but on the other hand she trusts everyone around her and makes one stupid decision after another. I couldn't empathize with her at all. She just acted childish and didn't see the obvious bad things that people done to her. Of course, all of the people were mean and greedy but I was more pissed at Maddie at letting that happen to her than at them. Well, well anyway. The romance was not one of Wests strongest one but I still liked it and I enjoyed the ending way more than the rest. Maddie finally came to her senses.
