It’s the stuff dreams are made of – a lottery win so big, it changes everything. For fifteen years, Lexi and Jake have played the same six numbers with their friends, the Pearsons and the Heathcotes. Over dinner parties, fish & chip suppers and summer barbecues, they’ve discussed the important stuff – the kids, marriages, jobs and houses – and they’ve laughed off their disappointment when they failed to win anything more than a tenner.
But then, one Saturday night, the unthinkable happens. There’s a rift in the group. Someone doesn’t tell the truth.
And soon after, six numbers come up which change everything forever. Lexi and Jake have a ticket worth GBP18 million. And their friends are determined to claim a share of it.
Sunday Times Number One bestseller Adele Parks returns with a riveting look at the dark side of wealth in this gripping take on friendship, money and betrayal, and good luck gone bad…

Really dislike giving a bad review as I appreciate the sheer work and effort that must be taken in writing. Alas it is with a heavy heart I have to say I did not like this book.
It all felt very superficial from the plot to the Characters. In fact with the exception of ‘Toma’ the characters were thoroughly unpleasant.
Almost stopped reading but persevered, not sure it was worth it though.
