The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck by Kylie Scott was recently released and is a fun little read. You’ll laugh and swoon, but you’ll quickly forget it for more poignant fare.

That said, The Last Days of Lilah Goodluck  is one of Amazon’s picks for Best Romance Books of February 2024.

Thoughts:

• Well written characters with dialogue that is full of witty repartee.
• Cute, though not particularly poignant, love story.
• The crux of the plot and its resolution is rather predictable but that may be a comfort to readers looking for an easy read.
• Alastair (the hero) is sexy, broody, and moody, but I didn’t understand why he was so invested in Lilah (the heroine) so quickly. Why does he care?
• Would make for a very cute romantic comedy film.

Synopsis (courtesy of Graydon House):

When Lilah Goodluck saves the life of Good Witch Willow as they’re crossing a busy L.A. street, the last thing she expects is five unwanted predictions as a reward. Who gives someone the winning lotto numbers then tells them they’ve only got a week to live? And who believes in that nonsense anyway?
 
But when the first three predictions come true within twenty-four hours, Lilah’s disbelief turns to mild panic. She’s further horrified when she nearly runs a car off the road that belongs to Alistair Lennox, who just happens to be the illegitimate son of the British king.
 
While Alistair is intrigued by her preposterous story, Lilah is adamant about resisting the heat between her and the playboy prince. If she denies he’s her soulmate, then the last prediction can’t come true, right? As the days count down, they become maybe friends…and then maybe more. But between the relentless paparazzi and some disapproving royals, finding time for love isn’t easy, especially when her days may be numbered.
