Jackpot Summer is a heartwarming story about life changes, money, and the importance of family.

The Jacobsons have always been a close-knit family, but after their mother’s passing, everyone is struggling to find their footing. When three of the four siblings go in on a lottery ticket—and win—they think their problems are finally solved.But as the saying goes, “Mo’ money, mo’ problems,” and that certainly proves true for this family.

I absolutely fell in love with these characters and was genuinely sad to reach the last page. A sweet, feel-good read that’s both touching and uplifting!
