Oh this was perfect insanity. Yes, that's a thing. But, let's go over the facts of this book, right? 

First we have Apple (what a fun, quirky name!), who is the luckiest bastard in the world and he hates it. I mean... Honestly? The amount of luck he has? I'd find it tedious and boring too after a while. It does not sound like much fun. I'd like a smidge of his luck though. Just a tiny smidge. 

Second, we have Adam, who is the opposite of Apple. He is extremely unlucky. He's also a part of a found family of guys who are... supervillains? Ish? They're fun and crazy and I loved them. But Adam hates being unlucky and also kind of hates Apple. Until they actually properly meet and shenanigans ensue. This includes some mild (attempted) stalking, luck shifting both ways, amazing sexy times, hilarious banter and absolute craziness. 

Look, don't try to make sense of this or expect it to be rooted in reality, okay? Just suspend your disbelief for a while and enjoy this crazy ride. Zile's writing style flows so easily and is so very fun and light and honestly, I'm a fan now. You should be too, so go pick up this book and climb aboard the Zile Crazy Train. It's fun here, I promise.
