Histoire
On a snowy evening in March, 30-something Noelle Butterby is on her way back from an event at her old college when disaster strikes. With a blizzard closing off roads, she finds herself stranded, alone in her car, without food, drink, or a working charger for her phone. All seems lost until Sam Attwood, a handsome American stranger also trapped in a nearby car, knocks on her window and offers assistance. What follows is eight perfect hours together, until morning arrives and the roads finally clear.

Histoire
Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend and everything he could dream of - except time. He has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a 50 percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past. Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids - nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him - maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

A pleasant change
I enjoyed this book as I have never read a book where the lottery was won and how it affected everyone. We all dream about what we would do if we won the lottery but the reality is different (at least it is in this book).
I pretty much figured out the mystery part but there was a twist or 2 thrown in that kept it interesting.
I have never read a book by Adele Parks and will definitely try another title. I enjoyed the narrators as well.

Interesting with a great twist
Loved listening until the last 1/4. The main character's 'stand by your man's' approach conflicts with her supposed intelligence and zeal for fairness. Liked her except for that as her husband was a total cad and a-h&*%.. Nothing likable about him so it was a contradiction.
Overall, great story that makes you think about 'what would you do it you won'' and great narration. n

Not really a thriller/mystery
The characters are all unlikeable, Jake is unbearable! Calling it a mystery/thriller is incredibly misleading. It’s literally just about a lottery win until there’s only 3.5 hours left. There’s a couple little surprises in the final hours… but they’re not at all surprising. There is one at the very end that’s surprising, but irrelevant when you finally learn it.
Also the Toma story-line, and the bathroom scene…. Why??? It was a lot of filler.
I would absolutely listen to this narrator again. I also liked the writing, the story was just very boring.

Boring and predictable
This is not a book I would recommend at all. The story is quite boring with minimally developed characters and the story line totally predictable. Even the supposed major plot twist at the end I one big yawn. The narration is well done however and was the only reason I was able to painfully make it to the end of this story.

Disappointed with the ending
There were multiple parts to the story- which I liked, sometimes a bit too much detail with the lottery spending, as in, details that dragged on and didn't didn't to the story in importance. The ending though/ the last chapter explaining any twists seemed short, like the author was just tired of writing the story. It lacked explanation and was disappointing. Still worth the read though.

Another knockout from Adele Parks!
This twisty, darkly satisfying tale kept me right til the end. If you’ve ever wondered how life would unfurl after a big lottery win - or if you’ve ever wondered how greed can propel ordinary people to do awful things - you’ll eat up this book. Loved it.

Unbearable
All of the characters, including the protagonist, were unbearable. But Jake was the absolute *worst*. I could not take him or Emily's disgusting attitudes. I only finished it to see if Jake got what was coming to him. SO glad to be finishes this irritating story.

Entertaining listen…yet super unlikeable characters. You kinda want to rip out your hair listening to each new, silly decision take place. There’s some good twists.

Mixed feelings about this one
I mean on one hand, it kept me listening to the end, so there’s that. The premise of the book is really good and I loved the twists and turns. The problem is, none of the characters were that likeable. Presumably the author intended for us to like and side with Lexi, but Lexi was mousy, a pushover, had no backbone, and was one dimensional. I didn’t think the last scene was very believable, and it took away from the overall story. I think it was too long, and there was too much endless internal dialog, especially the parts from Emily’s point of view. Still, it wasn’t a total flop and I WAS entertained, despite the boring bits. It’s always interesting to see how people react to winning lots of money. This book doesn’t leave much hope for humanity, though. Everyone was greedy and shallow.

Starts well, dies out
Starts out as what could potentially be a thriller/mystery. A couple wins 18,000,000 pounds in the lottery and the two couples with whom they were previously in a lottery group come forward to say they also purchased the ticket and should be due part of the winnings. I was hopeful that this would turn into some sort of crime thriller or a suspenseful story about the ticket and its winnings. Instead it became a boring story about the winning couple/family and boo hoo the down side of winning so much money. Cry me a river. What a disappointment

Slow but Original 🐢👧👦👩💃👨💰
Greatest Strength: Originality
Greatest Annoyance: “Privilege” Overkill, like 90% of new releases
Narrators: Took a few chapters to adjust, but they were pretty good.
No Spoilers: but Jake tho 🤮
Overall opinion: Other than the over-saturated “people with money are evil and greedy” premise, the plot was interesting and unique. However, at one point I just knew it was over and there were still 4 hours left. The book gears up, slows down, gears up, slows down and so-on throughout. If it were a little less dry and a little more entertaining I would have enjoyed that attribute, because I love a good long book. But “okay” can only hold my attention for so long.
Side note:
First, I have to ask, what’s up with this constant “privilege” theme? What about the theme of hero-worshipping immigrants and other cultures yet disdain for your own country and culture? Why can’t we have one without the other? I suppose this is an international initiative that has trickled into sports, entertainment, education, and basically everywhere else.
In this book, every place Lexi goes from restaurants to stores to parties are filled with nothing but terrible people. Even in her memories of waiting tables, she remembers only privileged perverted men and picky women. I waited tables, have owned businesses, and have worked for large corporations. I cannot completely relate to this sentiment that most authors are now soaking their pages with. I know that the very top 2% of the world might live and act like this, but I’m just so bored of generalizing the entire middle and upper classes of society this way. They are likely the reason that more than once, when I offer food to the homeless, they are well fed enough to be choosy and even turn it away. They keep people employed. They take positions and challenges no one else can or wants to take. They volunteer and fundraise for the causes you believe in. Let’s be careful not to demonize an entire race or class of people, since that’s the very thing we’ve been fighting against.

Good but frustrating
I did enjoy the book,it was well written and easy to follow. It was hard for me to love it because I just couldn't not stand the self riotous main character lady. She drove me crazy!

Oh.... my.... whoa!
Wow. Lol! Right until the last minutes there are shockers and twists.
The narration which is stilted is somehow appropriate. We are told the story from Lexie, the wife of one of the couples and her teenage daughter. It’s read in a dark, factual way that feels like a documentary. But... somehow it all pulls together for quite a tale. Somehow I feel there were a few life lessons along the way also without being preachy.
Enjoyed this after a long dry spell of duds.

Not a Thriller
I am only reading this book because it was a daily special for audible. The premise sounded good. But for me it drags on too much. Everyone thinks winning the lottery is the answer to your prayers, not in this case it is a night mare.
RECOMMENDATION; SKIP IT

Deleted without even finishing
I have actually never done this before. Hundreds of titles in my library - 747 to be exact - and I never thought I'd dislike a book so much that I invest hours into it & then just quit, yet here we are. It just LANGUISHED. I get that the characters are supposed to be unlikable, but they're also aggravating, and the story didn't at all go anywhere, it felt like I was chasing my own tail or something. Unlikable characters are one thing, but to combine that plus a story that runs around in circles and never goes anywhere, it was just too much. I couldn't stand it.
