Enjoyed this book and read it quickly. Lucky is the main character and leads a life of crime but you can’t help but root for her. A few twists and turns with an ending that might be too fairy take, but still very enjoyable.

I was intrigued from the start. I wanted to read and know all about Lucky’s journey. I felt for the main character and it did tug at my heart strings, but I didn’t love this one. I also felt like it was rushed at the end.

Easy read and pretty fun but I found myself drifting despite it being so short.
This was a fun book. Lucky was both lucky and unlucky at the same time. It was apparent from a young age that she had more of a conscience than her "dad" did. I found myself feeling, yet again, that so many kids have crappy childhoods and it just isn't fair.
I found myself trying to come up with solutions for her along the way. The end worked out a little too perfectly. Guess that's why she is "lucky".

This is a wild rollercoaster of a story following Luciana “Lucky” Armstrong, a con-artist/grifter who purchases a $390 million lottery ticket and has to find a way to cash it and avoid getting caught with her previous crimes. The story is told through dual timelines; we get chapters from Lucky’s childhood as she learns how to con from her father and present-day chapters.
Despite Lucky’s crimes, I really felt for her. She was brought up into this life; she didn’t choose it. Her father found her on the steps of a church and conning people is all she’s ever known. I think she is just living the life she’s dealt, and is just faced with decisions that come with that lifestyle.
I thought the ending was super rushed and a little too perfect — I mean, it ends on page 232. It could have benefited from another 50 pages.
Overall, an enjoyable read.
