I also appreciated that the author showed some of the difficulties of single parenting a child with special needs. It’s an aspect that’s often missing from age gap romances, so I was glad to see it addressed. We also get to see things from Abi’s perspective, including her insecurities in the face of her attraction to Genna. It’s also lovely to see her confidence build under Abi’s attention when they’re together, so Genna can truly accept that she’s attractive to Abi.
I love how honest and true she is, both to herself and with others, and she’s so good and sweet with Rosie. Just My Luck is really Genna’s book and we see her grow and change, reaching out for the things she needs and deserves, even standing up for herself for what might be the first time in her life. Can these friends drum up the courage to take a chance on what’s in front of them? The Characters Genna’s relationship with Ruth ends abruptly, removing one obstacle. She knows Genna could never want to be with her-she’s 14 years younger, beautiful and with another woman, after all-but she can’t seem to reason her feelings away. Over the years, Genna became one of Abi’s closest friends, and it wasn’t until she saw Genna with Ruth that she realized she could be attracted to another woman. When Abi Kitson fell pregnant after an ill-advised one night stand, she didn’t expect one of her biggest sources of support to be his young niece Genna. When she wins the largest jackpot in Euromillions history, she quits her job, comes home to find out exactly why Ruth is never around, and still has that crush on Abi.
Genna Collins has it all-a mediocre job, a girlfriend who’s never around, and an embarrassingly deep, unrequited crush on her best friend Abi. While it’s tempting to just call it hilarious (and so much of it is), the humour is balanced with serious themes and good character growth, resulting in a very satisfying read. Just My Luck by Andrea Bramhall is a great story that brings together two of my favourite themes: friends becoming lovers and an age gap romance.
