With Any Luck
by Ashley Poston
Summary
Every person she kisses finds their true love, and it’s never her—until now, in this funny and magically romantic short story by the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics.
Audrey Love is cursed to be the person before you find your soulmate, the girl you dump for your true love. So when her best friend disappears hours before his Valentine’s Day wedding, Audrey fears that she did the unthinkable and kissed him at last night’s bachelor party. With help from the best man, she retraces her steps to find the missing groom and, with any luck, a true love of her own.
My Review
This was not a memorable story. However, it did remind me of one of my favorite romcom movies, My Best Friend’s Wedding. Another short story that had an interesting plot, but the execution was done so poorly. It was confusing about who the love interest was. Then once we found out, I didn’t feel any chemistry between them. Honestly, I didn’t like any of the characters. It was too cheesy. There is some spice that I didn’t care for. There is also a non-binary side character with they/them pronouns, so the grammar didn’t make any sense and made it hard to read (eye-roll). The MFC gets drunk the night before and can’t remember anything. I didn’t like to read about a woman, not in control of herself. Didn’t care for this one. Do not recommend.
