Review: Unlucky Like Us by Krista & Becca Ritchie
Wow. Unlucky Like Us is like a delicious four-course meal that I wanted to savor but ended up devouring. Talk about engrossing.

Divergent meets Harry Potter in Fourth Wing—a heartstopping, epic fantasy romance set in a war college for students willing to die for the chance to be dragon riders. It’s entirely consuming, and even at over 600 pages in length, I did not want to put it down.
It seems like the last three Like Us books went off the rails, so I’m happy to say Krista and Becca Ritchie have the series back on track with Misfits Like Us. This is Luna and Donnelly’s story that Lunnelly shippers have been waiting for.
The fact that Right Guy, Wrong Word involves a man who wants to join a book club meant I had to read it. I mean, what’s sexier than a man who loves to read? Am I right, ladies, or amiright?
Accidental Attachment is my first Max Monroe book, and boy did it leave a smile on my face.
When you are a voracious reader, it sometimes feels like you have read it all. Hello Stranger gets kudos for being the most original, unique book I’ve read this year. I couldn’t put it down.
Historical romance meets Pretty Woman in Bookshop Cinderella. The fact that it centers around a strong-minded bookstore owner did my bookish heart good.
A Love Catastrophe is billed as an opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine romantic comedy, which ordinarily is right up my alley. However, the execution falls flat.
I enjoyed King of Wrath. Two warring gangster families, a little blackmail, an arranged marriage, and tons of enemies-turned-lovers chemistry. What’s not to like?
Good as Gold features a single woman with a planned pregnancy premise—my personal catnip. As an added bonus, it’s part of the True North universe. This series has long held a soft spot in my heart, and I’m always excited to reunite with the Shipley and Rossi families in their small Vermont town.
I have liked Emily Henry’s previous books, despite their tendency to be overhyped. I was pleasantly surprised that Happy Place exceeded my expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed this heartfelt tale.
Brutal Prince has one fatal flaw. Remember kindergarten, when you couldn’t wait for Show and Tell Day to show off your favorite collectible and see what your classmates brought? The telling part was ok, but it was the showing that really captured my attention. Brutal Prince suffers from too much telling and not nearly enough showing.
