It was supposed to be the lottery win they’d always dreamed of....

Lexi and Jake have a ticket worth millions. And their friends are determined to claim a share.

Unlikeable characters
The story itself would be an easy listen, but the characters are just maddening. The main character is too sanctimonious to be genuine; she’s just not likeable. The others are worse.
I really wanted to love this book, but the protagonist was headache inducing.
The narrator does a pretty good job.

A bit frustrating
The story was ok, but I found especially the main character frustrating… so weak/incompetent it was almost unbelievable. I was able to see almost every “twist” coming way in advance. Overall, just an ok listen.

Frustratingly Good
The first half of this book I was annoyed, annoyed with character choices, annoyed with how they were presenting themselves it was just so ridiculous and then it slowly started dropping truth bombs and the book just drew you in. The end of this book is unexpected and made up for all the frustrations I felt toward the characters.
I voice(s) were a little silly but it worked and it made the book thoroughly enjoyable! Highly recommend!
