Just My Luck
For fifteen years, Lexi and Jake have played the same six numbers with their friends, the Pearsons and the Heathcotes. Over dinner parties, fish & chip suppers and summer barbecues, they’ve discussed the important stuff – the kids, marriages, jobs and houses – and they’ve laughed off their disappointment when they failed to win anything more than a tenner.
But then, one Saturday night, the unthinkable happens. There’s a rift in the group. Someone doesn’t tell the truth. And soon after, six numbers come up which change everything forever.
Lexi and Jake have a ticket worth £18 million. And their friends are determined to claim a share of it.
This book was so cringe worthy that I struggled to read it. None of the characters were particularly likeable and it was so very clichéd about how they would and were spending some of the money, that really I just couldn't care. The sub plot and the twist at the end could have made for a much better book if this wasn't so far fetched as to be unbelievable, and I don't mean the winning of the lottery, that happens and some have just frittered the money away and I am sure others have used it wisely.
I am being generous in giving this 2 stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
