Krystle
has always yearned to live a different kind of life, so when she hits the
jackpot, quite literally, she's over the moon. At last she'll get the chance to
live in a gorgeous house, drive the car of her dreams and maybe even track down
that elusive soulmate at last! It all sounds perfect – but can reality ever
live up to your dreams?
A series I love, I
always look forward to the next book. Whilst there was little Duck Pond Café in
this book, we still have that sense of community and we still come across familiar
characters.
Krystle has got herself in a little bit of trouble and
really doesn’t want to have to seek the help of her twin, who always has her
life together. Krystle really surprised me at the start, I hadn’t imagined the
character getting herself into such a pickle, she seemed a bit immature and I
think this only served to emphasise how much she developed and matured as the
story progressed.
Who hasn’t dreamt of winning the lottery at some point? When
Carries numbers come up she automatically shares with her twin, and it happened
just in the nick of time.
Krystle does get a little carried away at first and becomes
wary of people getting in touch just because of the win. Her ex suddenly wants
to see her, and other men suddenly seem quite keen; she isn’t sure who she can
actually trust, especially when things don’t seem to really add up. She keeps
being told things but finding evidence to prove they are lies, can she actually
trust the people around her anymore? Adam is her best friend, he keeps her
grounded and since one snog, Krystle has wondered if there could be any more
between them.
We certainly had some twists and turns with this one, at the
start I wasn’t fully keen on Krystle but she grew on me as we read on. I think
this is a wonderful addition to the series, it can be read as a standalone
though so don’t worry if you haven’t had chance to catch up yet.
A fun, light-hearted novella with loveable characters and of course, Rosie's wonderful writing style that keeps you entertained throughout.
