EVERYONE HAS THEIR PRICE
It’s the stuff dreams are made of a lottery win so big, it changes everything.
For fifteen years, Lexie and Jake have played the same six numbers with their friends, the Pearsons and the Heathcotes. Over dinner parties fish and chips suppers and summer barbecues, they’ve discussed the important stuff the kids,marriage, 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.
Lexie and Jake have a ticket worth £18 million. And their friends are determined to claim a share in it.
MY REVIEW
Time to celebrate Just My Luck is Adele Parks 20th novel in twenty years.
Wow Just My Luck is a page turner with everything about winning the lottery what trouble it brings Lexie and Jake.
Winning the lottery is everyone’s dream and a subject that gets people talking about if they won the lottery what would one spend it on.
This powerful lottery subject is written with the exploration of doing the lottery with your best friends.
For fifteen years and 4 months, Lexie and Jake have been doing the lottery with their friends The Pearsons and Heathcotes. But both families pulled out doing the lottery a week before when Lexie and Jakes numbers came up giving Lexie and Jake £17.8 million. For my liking Jake is full of too many ideas how to spend the money.
Even though the Heathcotes and Pearsons pulled out a week before their numbers came up they want a slice of Lexie and Jakes £17.8 million.
Without giving away too much
What’s to look forward to is a physical fight between friends Lexie and Jake and the Heathcotes and Pearsons . This fight is going to make this difficult with Lexie and Jakes daughter Emily who is dating one their friends son Ridley. Will Ridley stop seeing Emily with the fact that her mother and father won’t give his family a share of the lottery winnings?
There’s trouble in store for Emily, during a big party her mother and father Lexie and Jake have organised to celebrate winning the lottery. And where was Lexie during her party at this troubled time for Emily?
Lexie is going to find something about her husband Jake that is going to cause her heart to break.
Somewhere I read don’t write about winning the lottery but Just My Luck is an outstanding novel of winning the lottery with plenty of action from the beginning to the final page. Adele Parks writing about winning the lottery is excellent with an extraordinary plot, that you don’t want to miss out reading.
MY THANKS TO
