This charming rom-com from an author whose writing is “deeply romantic, real, funny, and heartfelt” (Christina Lauren) is filled with Chinese traditions, second chances, and a luck-changing love story that will appeal to readers of Helen Hoang, Jasmine Guillory, and Sarah Adams.
 
A STROKE OF LUCK
Hazel Yen would love to be that person who doesn’t believe in bad luck. But having lost her job, her mom, her optimism, and even her dim-sum leftovers, she’s sitting in a fortune teller’s booth, desperate for a sign—any sign—that her luck might change. Which is when fate crashes into her, disguised as Logan Wells and his utterly chaotic cat.

Except after one spontaneous and mind-melting kiss, Hazel’s terrible misfortune starts taking a turn for the miraculous. Money problems vanish. A new job lands in her lap. And she’s crushing—hard—on the guy who started it all. Only there’s a problem: Logan’s luck has taken a turn for the worse. A shared lottery ticket could be just the answer they’re seeking or a disaster waiting to happen. Has Hazel’s fortune truly changed? And if so, could winning at life mean losing at love?
 

  • "Smart, funny, and irresistibly romantic, The Fortune Flip will make you believe in fate, luck, and the kind of love that feels meant to be. An absolute delight from one of my new favorite authors." 
     
    Marissa Stapley, New York Times bestselling author of Lucky
  • "I love Hazel and Logan in The Fortune Flip -- finally lucky in love just in time to realize it's been about more than luck all along. The Fortune Flip is about chance meetings in New York City where something magical is waiting just around the corner, figuring out what you want out of life, and opening your heart to a world that can be beautiful and joyous and kind."
     
    Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Never Been Shipped
