Product Information

Thank goodness I had a glass of bourbon in hand, and a buddy to read this book with! Kaceey - I wouldn’t haven’t gotten through this one without you! While there are many reasons I didn’t care for him, I cannot get over how ridiculous he was with spending the money. I literally had massive anxiety as I was trying to calculate how much money the family could potentially have left after his impulse spending. Quite naturally, the other four want part of the winnings. It seems only fair. They had a lottery syndicate that they all once took very seriously. Just because they did not join in that past week should not have excluded them part of the pot. How far will Lexi and Jake - and the others - go when it comes to those millions?

The story is largely about excess and avarice. The greed of some of the members of the Greenwood family, particularly of the father, Jake, is counterbalanced by Lexi’s determination to share their good fortune around. However, Lexi finds it impossible to put the brakes on the excessive spending and, against her better judgement, she is carried along with her family’s plans.I always like lottery stories, but the dark and the light side of winning a lottery. I think it’s something we all think about… a windfall. And I like a “slow reveal of secrets”. This book sounds intriguing.

I just love Adele Parks from the first book of hers I read years ago I am yet to find one I don't love. All in all, this is a decent read with some moments that will make you gasp and moments that will make you think. If you ever thought you wanted to win the lottery, this is a great book to let you know why you don't. I was going to do the lottery this weekend but I’m not sure I will now lol!! I can still dream though.How We Met: Adele Parks & Jane Fallon". The Independent. 10 January 2016. Archived from the original on 9 September 2021 . Retrieved 23 November 2021.
