I was expecting a novel and got a short story (I think it was too short to be a novella, but is there something between a short story and a novella in length?). It was cute for what it was, but just not what I was looking for.

Lucky Charm is a quick, super fun read featuring a cute deaf actor and a charming short thief. It's no wonder they managed to steal my heart.

A cute story about a deaf silent film star who reunites with a childhood friend, and they set out to steal an ex’s lucky charm.
.
The story is just about 80 pages and many of the chapters are short little vignettes. The quick fade in / fade out makes it amusing and keeps things moving along. There are a few awkward moments in the dialog, but these are outweighed by the real feelings and the overall cuteness of this pair.
.
It’s got one of my favorite tropes of all time: MUTUAL. SECRET. PINING. And I gotta say, I’m so glad to get some more disability rep in romance. (And fiction of all kinds, really.)

My heart is so full~
Content notes (from front matter):
🖤 ableism, discrimination
🖤 alcohol consumption
🖤mention of deceased parents/caregivers
I always know I can trust Chace Verity to write stories that will brighten my worst day and make me smile - and Lucky Charm is no different! I love Gil so much and he has such a funny voice that kept me smiling throughout. I love the element of second-chance this romance has and it’s just so soft and pleasant to read. The epilogue especially made my heart so full with the sweetness that is Gil and Quill’s love for one another - plus their cat, Mitzi!

In terms of how much I enjoyed reading this, I found this to be a 4 star read. I had a blast reading this. In more realistic terms, this novella was about a 2.5 star read. It didn't exactly have the best writing ever, but I was smiling throughout the whole reading experience. So. Good times overall.
One of the things that made me love this novella was how cute it was. Almost everything that went down in it was ridiculously unrealistic, but it was a blast to read. I didn't care how chaotic the plot was. It made me smile a shitton, and I was really happy to be reading it. Plus, even with how unlikely the lives of the two main characters were, their relationship was adorable. No doubt about it. I was charmed by the two of them.
The second biggest factor in me enjoying this novella was the writing style. This was so cheesy. It was delightful! The writing style was pure cheese, and it fueled me. It made the reading experience super fun because of how over-the-top and silly/cute it was. I was certainly not bothered by all the cheese.
I think my biggest complaint about this novella would be its pacing. The plot of this moved at the speed of light. Everything happened really quickly, and I definitely wouldn't have minded if things had slowed down a bit so the relationship between the main characters progressed more naturally.
All in all, this was a really sweet read. If you want to have a fun time and spend absolutely zero brain cells, pick this up just for a light and fun read.
