Lucky Caller by Emma Mills

Lucky Caller

by Emma Mills

When Nina decides to take a radio broadcasting class her senior year, she expects it to be a walk in the park. Instead, it’s a complete disaster.

The members of Nina's haphazardly formed radio team have approximately nothing in common. And to maximise the awkwardness her group includes Jamie - a childhood friend she'd hoped to basically avoid for the rest of her life.

With the warmth, wit, intimate friendships, and heart-melting romance she brings to all her books, Emma Mills crafts a story about believing in yourself, owning your mistakes, and trusting in human connection. Fans of Jenny Han and Morgan Matson will find a new favorite in Emma Mills.

Not my favorite Emma Mills book, unfortunately. In fact I think I liked this least of all her books. Thats not BAD though. Just... I felt the least amount of connection to the characters in this one. It was pretty damn great though. It was enjoyable as all EM’s books are. Lovable characters, cute, fun plot, great familial relationships, new friendships.

Sugary sweet. It was wonderful!

So— i just bought this (yay!), but can’t help but feel a little robbed (boo!) of the cover of this book that never was. Idk wtf kind of switcharoo is going on with emma mills’ covers but I do NOT like it! Is it wrong of me to have gotten attached to her faniciful, artwork in their own right, découpage & mixed media style art that graces her other covers?

Why now???

I feel like they were what was setting her apart from a stormy sea of confusing, indiscernible YA contemporaries; each Mills book a large, bright star, with its starshine reflected on the surface of the water, creating something not unlike a beacon for us readers out there that happen to have grown sick of the monotony, the misrepresentation, lack of representation, the sorrow, etc., of the common YA contemporary.

*dramatically weeps into the murky YA contemporary oceanic waters*
