Bad Luck Club by Denise Grover Swank, Angela Casella
5.0
The male lead of "Bad Luck Club," Lee Buchanan, was kind of a jerk in the earlier books of this series, but after facing scandal and betrayal by his father and ex-girlfriend, he was in a much different place by the time this story began. There was so much more to Lee than I ever thought possible, and his journey turned out to be one of the most emotional character arcs of the entire series. His father had forced him to hide his emotions for years because he considered them to be a weakness, but when Lee was finally allowed to show that side of himself, he turned out to be incredibly sweet, thoughtful, and supportive. I loved how that was reflected in the bond Lee and his siblings started to establish by the end of the book.
Lee's love interest, artist and yoga instructor Enid "Blue" Combs, had fought hard for her independence, and she was determined to build a new life for herself in Asheville. Part of that was joining the Bad Luck Club and working through the baggage of her past through a series of challenges set out by her sponsor, one of which indirectly led her to Lee. They couldn't help being drawn to each other even though it was against the rules of the Bad Luck Club, and that wasn't the only challenge standing in the way of their relationship. I loved the two of them together, however, and it was very easy for me to cheer them on to their HEA.
Overall, "Bad Luck Club" gave me all the feels and I highly recommend it for fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. While I'm sad that the Buchanan family's story has come to an end, I am very excited about the spinoff series coming this summer, which will feature at least one of Blue's friends from the Bad Luck Club.
