Really enjoyed this one. Broke me out of a reading slump.

This was an enjoyable read. If I wasn’t so sick this past week, I’m sure I would’ve breezed through it more quickly. I think this would make a good mini series or movie with the easy to captivate characters and messy con artist life. If you’re interested in an easy, beach read, this is that.

Audiobook until Part 2 when I skimmed the last pages while walking aisles at Target to finish it faster than the narrator would. Loved the idea of the premise, but for a character who is so smart at grifting, she sure was dumb and naive. Some serious plot holes and poor choices and it all wrapped up WAY too neatly for my preference.

I actually have like no thoughts. An absolutely mediocre book.

I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced so you can’t get bored, and the storyline is very entertaining and always keeping you on your toes. I haven’t heard too much about this book other than Reese’s Book Club, but I would say it’s entertaining and good for a quick fun read!

Lucky was raised to be a scam artist. But through her life she just wants to settle down. When she wins the lottery she finally has a chance to turn her life around and redeem herself. She knows if she does that she will be caught and go to jail. It’s a good ride if you are willing to suspend reality.
