REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A thrilling roller-coaster ride about a heist gone terribly wrong, with a plucky protagonist who will win readers’ hearts.
What if you had the winning ticket that would change your life forever, but you couldn’t cash it in?
Lucky Armstrong is a tough, talented grifter who has just pulled off a million-dollar heist with her boyfriend, Cary. She’s ready to start a brand-new life, with a new identity—when things go sideways. Lucky finds herself alone for the first time, navigating the world without the help of either her father or her boyfriend, the two figures from whom she’s learned the art of the scam.
When she discovers that a lottery ticket she bought on a whim is worth millions, her elation is tempered by one big problem: cashing in the winning ticket means she’ll be arrested for her crimes. She’ll go to prison, with no chance to redeem her fortune.
As Lucky tries to avoid capture and make a future for herself, she must confront her past by reconciling with her father; finding her mother, who abandoned her when she was just a baby; and coming to terms with the man she thought she loved—whose dark past is catching up with her, too.
This is a novel about truth, personal redemption, and the complexity of being good. It introduces a singularly gifted, multilayered character who must learn what it means to be independent and honest...before her luck runs out.

Contrived. Written with the reading difficulty of a pamphlet
Loved this book- easy and fast read with a lot of twists. I bought one for my sister because I wanted to share my excitement
Pretty mediocre. No real energy or impressive story arch
“People deserve second chances. And third chances. All people do is make mistakes. If we never forgave, we’d all be alone."Despite her nickname “Lucky" has had a rough start from the beginning. Raised by a single father who makes his living as a con-man, he has taught her to be just like him. He schools her on the tricks of the trade and makes sure they’re always on the move to stay one step ahead of the law.Lucky has learned her father’s lessons well and has found a boyfriend just like dad. Too much like him, one morning she wakes to find her boyfriend, and all of their money and her dreams are gone. The boyfriend has taken everything and skipped out on her. This time Lucky is the victim of the scam. On her own Lucky’s life is even more complicated now. Her face, and that of the former boyfriend, are all over the news as the scams that they pulled off to get their money have caught up with her.Good luck strikes when she buys a winning lottery ticket. There’s just one problem, if she turns it in she’ll be identified and most certainly end up in jail.The novel is about family, lost and found and redemption. It is sweet, if a bit cloying in parts but it does hold out some hope for the girl who was never really fit her name. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
