Lucky Caller by Emma Mills
5.0
I received a physical ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
If you like this, you should read LUCKY CALLER:
- weddings (i.e. Save the Date by Morgan Matson)
- Bob Ross
- a strong sister dynamic (like TATBILB)
- the childhood friends to lovers trope
- the 90's
- podcast/radio elements
- an apartment setting (characters home)
- childhood flashbacks
- theater

...the list could go on, but these are just some great elements of this book!
Before reading Lucky Caller, I had only read one other novel from this author ([b:This Adventure Ends|27779275|This Adventure Ends|Emma Mills|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1455111092l/27779275._SX50_.jpg|46885088]) and I really enjoyed the writing. Lucky Caller didn't disappoint. It has now ranked as my favorite novel by this author. I really enjoyed her dialogue and how different her characters felt. This also was just a wholesome story that felt very realistic. Jamie was my favorite character, I could connect to him a lot and I really liked the slow burn romance that Emma wrote. I absolutely loved the radio broadcasting element and how much the author added to the story of the radio show. Joydeep was a RIOT. I laughed so hard when he was sabotaging the other group's show. It just felt like such a realistic, unique story that really felt timely to the setting of 2019. This novel includes just the right amount of pop culture references.
I also really enjoyed Nina's sister, Rose and her struggle with her major in college. This is such a realistic scenario and I could definitely relate to her mental breakdown.
I really don't have any flaws with this book, besides the fact that I wanted more page time for Jamie, but I'm biased. Overall, I was really sad when this was over because I was CRAVING more. I really hope the author writes more of these characters! But, I will definitely be re-reading & listening to the audiobook when this comes out!
