Book Review: LIFE IN THE LUCKY ZONE by Patricia B. Tighe


Life in the Lucky Zone (The Zone #2)
by Patricia B. Tighe
Publication Date:  April 5, 2016
Publisher:  Swoon Romance


Seventeen-year-old Lindsey Taylor has been living a charmed life—always the lead in school plays, possessor of a healthy entourage and a hot boyfriend. But halfway through her junior year, the unthinkable happens. Her boyfriend dumps her. She screws up her audition for the spring play. And to top it all off, her theater teacher wants her to run lines with Trey Berger, a gamer guy who irritates her practically every time he opens his mouth. Lindsey needs to find some better luck and quick.

Trey Berger can barely tolerate Lindsey Taylor. It’s bad enough that their best friends are dating and he has to see Lindsey at group hangouts. Now they have to rehearse together. Berger would rather do just about anything else, even chill with his grandmother, whose dementia has forced her to move in with his family.

But as the semester continues, Berger discovers there’s more to Lindsey than the drama queen

persona she puts on for everyone else’s benefit. And the person behind the mask might be someone he cares about. A lot. So what exactly is he going to do about it?

And while Lindsey desperately tries to change her luck and heal from the breakup, she slowly realizes Berger has become her best friend. This video-game-playing boy makes her laugh. And holds her when she cries. Could he possibly become something more?




I absolutely adored this book! It's just as good as it's predecessor, Life in the No-Dating Zone. One would think, how could Tighe carry on the sweet story of Claire and Gray... by carrying on a contemporary romance between their best buddies, Lindsey & Berger.


That's right - total polar opposites, Lindsey (popular girl) and Berger (gamer boy). But this isn't your stereotypical opposites attract -- I love how Tighe sucks us in with Lindsey recovering from her recent breakup (oh come on, no one liked him) and Berger's hidden passion for drama club. When Berger has a chance at a part and Lindsey is made to tutor him, so begin the sparks...


Okay, so not quite that easy, but to find out more you'll have to read this for yourself!!

I definitely give Life in the Lucky Zone 5 stars.
Don't miss out!!




The mother of two grown sons, Patricia B. Tighe lives in West Texas with her husband and two dogs. She eats too much pizza, drinks too much coffee, and watches way too much NFL football. On the bright side, she loves to read and write young adult fiction. Especially if there’s kissing involved.

#FridayFandom: Author Interview with Patricia B. Tighe


Today we have Patricia B. Tighe, author of LIFE IN THE NO-DATING ZONE & LIFE IN THE LUCKY ZONE.

1. Tell us about your books in 140 characters or less.

Life in the No-Dating Zone — A teenage girl, who vows not to date in high school, falls for the guy she’s helping to romance her best friend.





Life in the Lucky Zone — A drama queen and a gamer boy journey from mutual dislike to friendship and finally to love.



2. What would be the theme song for your books?

You Found Me by Kelly Clarkson works for Life in the No-Dating Zone because my main character Claire is confused about a lot of things. 



For Life in the Lucky Zone, I’m going with Got to Get You Into My Life by The Beatles. That theme is going through my couple before they even realize it.


3. What is your favorite “book” movie and why? 

As much as I love the Harry Potter movies, my favorite book movie is The Princess Bride. Author William Goldman wrote both the book and the screenplay, and I love his clever dialogue.



4. What are you currently writing? 

Since turning in the third book in The Zone series in February, I’ve been taking a break. But I’ll be soon be working on another young adult romance that I hope will be the beginning of a new series.

5. What are you currently reading?

In a World Just Right, a contemporary young adult fantasy by Jen Brooks.

Thank you for joining us Patricia!

I can't wait for book two!!
