JUST MY LUCK | Kirkus Reviews

The first part of the book concerns the rupturing of the friendship, affecting both grown ups and children and how the money should, or should not be divided. He also has a brother with a disability, whom he shows great compassion towards, even if others do not. It’s a massive amount of money and it’s interesting reading about what it does to their family and friends. The majority of the novel is narrated in the first-person by either Lexi or Emily, neither of whom I entirely connected with. All Lexi and Jake know is that they have the winning ticket and they are not obliged to share it with their long standing friends.And worst of all is something that he doesn't like to talk about at school; his dad recently had a brain aneurysm. I definitely got a little annoyed with one of the characters in how they uncontrollably spent the money and didn’t take anything else into consideration. And thus begins not only the unraveling of years long friendships, but secrets, deceits, lies and hidden agendas which had been hidden for many years. Not only do we meet different characters in this book, but we also meet different personalities, with different motivations, dreams and life goals. Our protagonist Lexi is a dedicated social worker and really likeable, the other characters well you’ll have to read to find out more.

My mom has a theory that when bad things happen [to you], you should think about someone else's problems and try to help them.Most people would think a huge lottery win would be a dream come true; but be careful what you wish for! Yes, author Adele Parks' new domestic noir tale about the dark side of wealth suffered from too much superfluous dialogue.

I really wished I have seen more of Toma’s story and point of view, and had a proper closure to his chapter. It got me thinking about what I would do with a big win, how I'd spend it and how it might change my life.Jake and Lexi are the most unlikely pairing conceivable and their opinions on everything differ making it difficult to swallow their twenty-five year history with Lexi a holier-than-thou do-gooder and impetuous Jake undermining everything she says. I do play the lottery occasionally but after reading this book I will not be participating in a lottery pool!
