Just My Luck: The Sunday Times Number One Bestseller from the author of gripping domestic thrillers and bestsellers like Lies Lies Lies

Product Information

The ending and what I presume to be the shocking twist is nothing of the sort as it involves one character behaving completely out of character and just about sums up an unconvincing novel that in all honesty bored me senseless. This exhilarating, shrewdly observed tale about morality and greed from Parks ( Lies, Lies, Lies) focuses on three English couples. I would like to ask Adele if she thinks winning such huge amounts of money should be allowed and if the prize money should be split more evenly. When Lexi and Jake win the lottery, 17 million, they and their children Logan and Emily are planning how to spend their windfall. Bestseller Parks follows up 2022’s Woman Last Seen with an intriguing, multilayered suspense tale set in London during the height of Covid-19 lockdowns.

However, the group had some issues so Lexi and Jake played the numbers on their own - and won - to the tune of nearly 18 million pounds.It takes a close look at the impact of instant wealth on an individual, a couple, their children, their friends, workplace and wider community. She was a judge of the Costa Book Awards in 2010 and has regularly been the judge of the Costa Short Story Awards. I did like the ending up until the very last section, which I thought was quite odd in light of the rest of the book. Even so, each individual chapter is so well crafted and engaging that the story’s intrigue and suspense continue to build, and the characters' emotions ring true and evocative throughout.

When a middle-class British family wins the lottery, the money causes more problems than anyone could have imagined.

Something happens within the group and when Lexi and Jake win the lottery, they claim the other couples had pulled out of the group a couple of weeks prior.
