Windfall - Jennifer E. Smith


♥♥♥

First off, whoever designed this cover was a genius, it pulled me in immediately and that was the main reason why I picked up this book. Secondly, this premise is one that will make anyone one run out and buy a lotto ticket.

Alice who has been pining for Teddy, her best friend, buys him a lottery ticket for his birthday. To their astonishment, he wins $140 million, and in an instant, everything changes.

This is probably everyone in the world's dream, to win so much money, but I believe the author captured the burden that comes with instant millions and what effects it can have on you and the people around you.

The characters were well written, all of the characters have extremely well planned out backstories to show the reader how they got to where they are. And when this lucky win does happen you can’t help but feel elated for the characters.

There was a small section where Alice really worked on my nerve, but probably just because I wouldn’t have made the decision she did. But other than that, this was a very enjoyable quick read. I might actually pick up one of the authors other books.
