It was supposed to be the lottery win they'd always dreamed of... For fifteen years, Lexi and Jake have played the same six numbers with their friends. Over drinks, dinner parties and summer barbecues, the three couples have discussed the important stuff--kids, marriages, careers--and they've laughed off their disappointment when they failed to win anything. But then the unthinkable happens. There's a rift in the group. Someone is caught in a lie. And soon after, six numbers come up that change everything forever. Lexi and Jake have a ticket worth millions. And their friends are determined to claim a share. #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Adele Parks returns with a riveting look at the dark side of wealth in this gripping tale of friendship, money, betrayal and good luck gone bad...

Three Brit couples finally win lottery after playing same numbers for 10+ years. That's how it starts. What follows are the fractious friendships and marriages that come forefront because of this windfall. And how quickly lives can fall apart. Was looking forward to story but disappointed.
3.5 solid stars for this book which had the traditional ‘couple won the lottery and just last week their friends had pulled out of the syndicate they had together'. the mayhem and the greediness that turns people into whatever is just like a car crash that you can't help but stopping by to see. And even if Lexi is a bit too much, the setting is well built enough for you to understand her goodness. Also: that ending! amazing.
This was a very quick and easy read. From the outset I didn't like any of the characters (with the exception of 2) even though I enjoyed the story itself. The story is told from the family's perspective minus Logan. I'm not sure why he didn't get a voice which is funny because he's one of the only ones I liked
