    About this audiobook

    SOON TO BE AN APPLE LIMITED SERIES STARRING ANYA TAYLOR-JOY
    REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK
    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

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

      This was an interesting, character-driven read. Lucky was a likable character despite being a con artist. The end felt a bit rushed thougj.

      One of the worst books I've ever listened to. I can't believe I listened to the whole thing and was only able to because it was short. No way is Reese Witherspoon is reading books like this. Can't believe this was ever published.

      It was just okay for me. Not one that kept me from putting it down. The audiobook kept stopping and I would have to skip forward to start it again. That didn’t help.

      This book always kept me guessing. Every time things were going Lucky’s way she was met with obstacles. You just wanted her to catch a “lucky” break.

      Slow start, transitions between past and present timelines. I really liked the protagonist. She was really active but a little naive. Wish the resolution would have had more exposition. An epilogue would have been nice.

      Slow at times but overall good story!
      I'd give the narration 2 stars. She has a cadence to her voice that doesn't change throughout most of the book.

      Got thru it but not very meaningful or believable even within it’s own fiction and didn’t care much about the characters.

      Silly. Took me over two weeks to finish because it was so ridiculous and uninteresting. Was planning on moving on but hoped I would have a change of heart. Spoiler alert — I didn’t.
