About this listen

Reese's Book Club Pick

New York Times Best Seller

A thrilling roller-coaster ride about a heist gone terribly wrong, with a plucky protagonist who will win listeners’ hearts.

What if you had the winning ticket that would change your life forever, but you couldn’t cash it in?

Lucky Armstrong is a tough, talented grifter who has just pulled off a million-dollar heist with her boyfriend, Cary. She’s ready to start a brand-new life, with a new identity - when things go sideways. Lucky finds herself alone for the first time, navigating the world without the help of either her father or her boyfriend, the two figures from whom she’s learned the art of the scam.

When she discovers that a lottery ticket she bought on a whim is worth millions, her elation is tempered by one big problem: Cashing in the winning ticket means she’ll be arrested for her crimes. She’ll go to prison, with no chance to redeem her fortune.

As Lucky tries to avoid capture and make a future for herself, she must confront her past by reconciling with her father; finding her mother, who abandoned her when she was just a baby; and coming to terms with the man she thought she loved - whose dark past is catching up with her, too.

This is a novel about truth, personal redemption, and the complexity of being good. It introduces a singularly gifted, multilayered character who must learn what it means to be independent and honest...before her luck runs out.

Don’t Trust Me

I listened to this after listening to an excellent mystery thriller with multiple character voices. The narrator was to breathy and voiced pitched up. It annoyed me enough that I kept having to stop listening. All of that being said, this is probably not a fair review due to the book previous to it.

The story was very predictable.

Fun read

I really enjoyed this book. The narration wasn’t great. She sounds like a robot but the story was fun and entertaining

Wrong Choice of VO

I don't want to be mean but this woman's voice is one constant whine. I tried 3 times to finish this for Book Club and I literally can't. I'll just wait for the movie. please re-record with someone else.

Lucky?

A con artist, Lucky wins the lottery. I kept listening to this book because I really wanted to know what was going to to happen to the lottery ticket. The ending is a jumbled mess with no resolution for the characters, who were only sorta kinda likable. I didn't hate this book, but I didn't love this book either. I had different expectations for the wrap-up which may be leading to what I feel and say about this story.

Luciana the smart one!

I want more of Lucky’s survival. I’m sure will begin to live, soon. Liked it for distraction from loss.

Voice Ruined It

If I would have read this book or a different voice was used I would have enjoyed it. As another review said, the voice was a constant whine. It made the main character seem cringey and pathetic.

Predictable

Predictable from the get go. The reviews lead me to believe it would be enjoyable but it was a choir to keep listening. I changed the speed to 1.5 so I I could get to the predictable ending.
