Maddie is a hard working high school senior, waiting to hear from the colleges she applied to, when on a whim she buys a lottery ticket and wins; suddenly she is the center of everybody's attention, including her struggling family, and not necessarily in a good way--only Seth Nguyen, her charming coworker at the local zoo, seems oblivious to her luck, and Maddie is not sure whether telling him will change their developing relationship.

Buddy read w/ Scrill whom I abondened and finished this book days before her. Sorry.
This book is definitely a 3 star read. I liked the plot pacing and everything that happened. How it involved the zoo was amazing since I also love animals. The writing is amazing as usual with Kasie West. But the characters were so annoying. Like all of them except the love interest I found annoying, mean, of rude. The main character was stupid when I know she really wasn't. Her family was a pain but very much involved. Her friends were also just horrible. I'm a very character driven person and these characters were just pure annoyance. But I did relate to the main character in the sense she worries too much about her future. Also I felt like a lot of things were too convenient in this book. Even though I did have a lot of problems it is a 2 1/2 to 3 star read. I enjoy a lot of it but didn't enjoy a lot of it.

The romance was really cute but there were a few things that really bothered me that I felt were not really addressed by the end.
