Lucy gets fired from her job. She in the midst of a sex scandal. Her clunker of a car breaks down AGAIN. She comes home early to find her boyfriend with another women in HER bed. Seriously, can life get any worse for Lucy?

On a whim she buys a lottery ticket on the way home from visiting a friend's house. The next morning the paper boasts that there was only one winner for the $87 million jackpot. Guess who has those six lucky numbers? Lucy.

You'd think with 34 million (a girl has to pay taxes on them winnings!) would solve everything - but it doesn't. Lucy tries to espace the media circus and reinvent herself with the help of an old college friend. Lucy soon learns that what she thinks she knows - she doesn't and she can't outrun her past.

This book is amazing. It is one of those "can't put it down I must read the next chapter..oh make it another chapter...ok just another" type of book.
