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!

Lucky Enough by K.A. Wesorick follows Becky Lewis, a high school sophomore struggling with courage and first love. Becky wears a unicorn dress on her first day of school and later feels embarrassed about it. She loses her self-confidence and feels bad. One day, her grandpa gives her a four-leaf clover necklace, saying that the necklace brings luck. Becky starts to believe in the necklace as things start to go just as she wanted. She was accepted into a dancing competition and got a chance to talk with her longtime crush, Nate. Becky starts to find her voice and courage. At the finals of the dance competition, she is not wearing her lucky necklace, which shakes her. She has to face the crowd this time, believing in herself and not the necklace.

I really loved this book. I was able to relate to all the characters and events. Becky's thoughts and feelings were authentic, especially as she struggled with insecurity and hoped that her lucky necklace would make things go her way. Becky and Trina's friendship is a great highlight for me. It shows how good and supportive friendships can help to shape one's confidence. I also enjoyed following Trina's story in the dance world and her newfound relationship with Austin. K.A. Wesorick's writing style is simple, clear, and full of heart. The book flowed seamlessly and with great character development. I loved Stacy's personality; even though she may seem mean, I was able to sympathize with her inner battles. The lucky necklace is a metaphor to show the different ideologies, people, and hope we lean on when facing tough situations, and I appreciate how Wesorick was able to make me believe more in my inner strength. I recommend Lucky Enough to teenagers who feel shy and lack self-confidence. It will also be a great read for readers who love stories about friendship, self-confidence, and growing up.
