The Lucky One

Grabs you right away. Easy read. Not the usual romance book although obviously there is romance. You do not guess what's going to happen. Safe for teens to read. As a senior, senior who reads a lot, this was an enjoyable, good one. Keeps you interested right to the end. I found it hard to put down.

As I continued to read I found it hard to put down. A good read!
