Lucky is a bit down on her luck one might say, she’s just had her boyfriend ditch her in Vegas and has taken all their money. Her dad’s in prison, and she has zero people left in her life that she can trust. And to top it all off, she’s wanted all over the country for embezzlement and fraud. But there’s more... she has a winning lottery ticket that could make all her problems go away, but honestly how could she cash it without getting caught?

This book follows Lucky throughout her life, going between current day, and throughout her past so we see how she got into her current situation. I liked going through the different timelines and then having them meet up. I also really enjoyed how it all came together at the end. Lucky is a fast paced “quick read” that keeps you guessing how she’ll figure everything out until the very end! I recommend if you’re into strong independent female protagonists, or love a good underdog story! Thank you to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for this E-ARC.
