From the critically acclaimed author of The Young Wives Club, a “heartwarming story about friendship, heartache, and self-discovery” (Karen White, New York Times bestselling author), comes a charming novel reminiscent of the works of Mary Alice Monroe and Kristy Woodson Harvey, about three sisters who win a huge lottery prize and learn what it truly means to be lucky.I love stories about sisters, and this one makes me think about what I would do if I won the lottery!
Lexi, Callie, and Hanna Breaux grew up in small-town Louisiana, and have always struggled to make ends meet. For years, they’ve been playing the lottery, fantasizing about how much better life would be if they had the money.
For Lexi, it means the perfect wedding; for Callie, it means having the courage to go after her career dreams; and for Hanna, it means buying a house that isn’t falling apart and sending her bullied son to private school. When the incredible happens and the Breaux sisters hit it big—$204 million dollars big—all their dreams come true. Or so they think. Because it’s actually not a cliché—money isn’t the answer to everything, and it often comes with problems of its own.
Heartfelt, engaging, and featuring characters you’ll root for from the first moment you meet them, Louisiana Lucky is a satisfying page-turner from a rising star in women’s fiction. - from Goodreads
Holy shit, I have to say the first thing I thought when I finished the blurb was how I could take care of some stuff that is in desperate need of taking care ofwith a win like that -- though I do agree it doesn't solve everything (it helps though!) the sisters in this sound lovely, and I genuinely want to see how this affects them.
ReplyDeleteI know, me too! Winning a huge sum of money sounds great, but you always know there's going to be issues.
DeleteI'm usually a sucker for stories about sisters since I have two of my own. :)
ReplyDeleteAww!
DeleteSister stories are great! And how can I cover look so yummy?!
ReplyDeleteI know, right??
DeleteSisters and millions -- sounds really interesting. I also saw heartwarming and self-discovery up there and those are buzzwords I love to hear
ReplyDeleteThis sounds good and such an enticing cover!
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteI've thought about what I'd do if I won the lottery a few times haha. Cute cover too. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, there are definitely a couple things I'd like to do!
DeleteI'm always up for a great story about sisters and I love the winning the lottery twist. I could definitely see that creating some issues. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne!

ReplyDeleteThis sounds so good! I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracy!
DeleteWhile the story doesn't sound like my kind, that cover would have made me pick it up in the bookstore just to look at. Cupcakes on covers, or in real life, are my weakness. Hope you get your hands on this soon!
