Lucky

3.45 AVERAGE


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.
