High school is a time of self-discovery, filled with moments that are both spectacular and miserable. In Lucky Enough by K.A. Wesorick, readers will find a relatable journey through the eyes of Becky, an introverted dancer trying to find her way. She has a close friendship with fellow dancer Trina and a quiet crush on Nate, though she believes he doesn’t even know she exists. She feels unlucky, stuck in her head, and convinced she’s invisible to most of her peers. Then her grandfather gives her a necklace he found on the beach, and she starts to believe her luck is finally changing. With new confidence, she joins the dance team and starts spending time with Nate. At first, she credits the necklace for everything going right, even feeling calm just by rubbing it, but with the support of those who care about her, she realizes the magic didn’t come from the necklace; it was inside her all along.
What has stayed with me the most since finishing Lucky Enough is K.A. Wesorick’s honest depiction of what it’s like being an adolescent discovering who they are. Becky’s introverted, daydreaming personality really resonated with me. I liked how her story focused on real, everyday moments, like the awkwardness of the first day of high school (especially riding the bus), her growing relationship with Nate, her friendship with Trina, and the quiet support from her family, rather than relying on big, dramatic twists. I also enjoyed the gentle humor and appreciated the uplifting message that true confidence comes from within, not a lucky charm. The story gently explores themes of resilience, family, and learning to believe in yourself. It’s perfect for anyone who enjoys coming-of-age tales, character-driven stories about resilience, and positive endings. Wonderful, relatable story!
