Release Date: Out Now
I received a copy of this e-book from Pan Macmillan through
NetGalley; I had the book downloaded before it was released and was intending
to read it before it was published, but in between my own wedding and then the
honeymoon straight after, I’m just getting around to writing this review!
This book was a good read for the plane journeys, you meet
the three main characters Alice, Teddy and Leo. They grew up together and Alice
buys Teddy a lottery ticket for his birthday after being convinced by the store
clerk. Everyone dreams about winning the lottery, but not Alice. Alice is however
overjoyed that Teddy has won until it seems money changes him and the person
she secretly loves isn’t that same person anymore.
It’s an enjoyable read and you get to know each of the
characters and you get both sides from Alice and Teddy of how the lottery money
has affected their lives. Seemingly doom-and-gloom it’s a happy story, one that will leave you smiling
once you have finished the book, with all of the characters given their own
endings or a summary of how they turned out in the future.
