It is Just My Luck that I read this!

I agree with Erika Sorocco 100% on her reveiw. This IS a cute and fluffy plot involving luck and charm. I do too like to read the movie novel before I go see the movie, knowing what to expect when I watch it, to see if the movie novel and the movie are simular. This movie novel and the movie are very simular, and this movie novel captures every part of the funny movie. I purchased and read this first before I saw the movie and it was very cute and adorable, even though I do not know why the movie critics bashed it so much and gave it horrible reveiws. This movie novel has wit and style, being a quick read so you can read it quickly and go see the movie. This movie novel only took me about an hour to read, for I am a very quick reader. Lindsay Lohan's character is pretty and has the most luck in the world. Chris Pine's character is cool and awesome, having the worst luck in the world, leaving Chris and Lindsay to be the perfect couple in this romantic comedy about luck. This movie novel is highly recommended and so is the movie! Hope you enjoy! If you liked this, you may like 1. The Perfect Man movie novelization 2.

A fun, quick read, that you'll be lucky to get your hands on...

Ashley Albright has got it all. A high-profile job - along with a fabulous new promotion - gorgeous clothes, parties filled to the brim with celebrities...face it, she's on a permanent winning streak. Then there's Jake. Jake is a handsome guy, making ends meet as a janitor, as he tries to boost his career as a music mogul. The problem? The band that he's managing is bound to break-up - unless he helps them launch themselves into the industry. But no matter how hard Jake tries to better himself, nothing ever seems to pan out. But that all changes when Jake crashes Ashley's celebrity bash, and the two of them share an electrically-charged, passionate kiss. One that leads Ashley to believe that she's just hit luck in love. But then the stranger - Jake - disappears, and suddenly Ashley's heel breaks, her skirt rips, and she's carted off to jail. Whereas Jake's bad luck has suddenly changed to good. Now, Ashley must find the mysterious, handsome stranger, and exchange one last kiss with him, in an attempt to win back her luck, even if it means leaving behind a potential boyfriend. I have a tendency to purchase movie novelizations of films that I want to see, in an attempt to "find out" what they're all about, before the film hits the big screen. With JUST MY LUCK - adapted by Laurie Calkhoven - I have struck gold, for the premise is adorable, and the plot is fast-paced and cute. Ashley is a fantastic character, who thinks that luck will follow her wherever she goes, no matter what; while Jake is the adorable Prince-in-training, looking to accumulate any luck he can get - no matter how little. These two characters play off of each other extremely well, and give the reader a view of two personalities - grateful and ungrateful. A fun, quick read, that you'll be lucky to get your hands on.
