About this listen

THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER!
What if winning means losing everything?
‘A gripping story of greed, lies and dark family secrets’ Lisa Jewell
‘Utterly engrossing and brilliant’ Lucy Foley
‘Addictive, provocative… brilliantly crafted’ TM Logan

It’s the stuff dreams are made of – a lottery win so big, it changes everything.

For fifteen years, Lexi and Jake have played the same six numbers with their friends, the Pearsons and the Heathcotes. Over dinner parties, fish & chip suppers and summer barbecues, they’ve discussed the important stuff – the kids, marriages, jobs and houses – and they’ve laughed off their disappointment when they failed to win anything more than a tenner.

But then, one Saturday night, the unthinkable happens. There’s a rift in the group. Someone doesn’t tell the truth. And soon after, six numbers come up which change everything forever.

Lexi and Jake have a ticket worth £18 million. And their friends are determined to claim a share of it.

Sunday Times Number One bestseller Adele Parks returns with a riveting look at the dark side of wealth in this gripping take on friendship, money and betrayal, and good luck gone bad…

Praise for Just My Luck:

‘Adele Parks never takes her foot off the gas, every book is tighter, faster, better than the last. Just My Luck is a gripping story of greed, lies and dark family secrets. I read it in a two-day frenzy’ Lisa Jewell

‘Utterly engrossing and brilliant’ Lucy Foley

‘A compelling take on one of those “what if” scenarios that we’ve all wondered about. Addictive, provocative and thoroughly relatable – a brilliantly crafted reminder to be careful what you wish for’ TM Logan

‘An absolute joy: gripping, shocking and surprising. A cautionary tale about what one couple’s sudden wealth can do to old friendships’ Jane Fallon

‘Fabulous… her best yet’ Daily Mail

‘Stupendous! I read this totally compelling modern-day morality tale over a weekend – I couldn’t put it down. As ever, Adele Parks does not disappoint – you’ll love it’ Ruth Jones

‘Like a deft magician, this book reveals its twists only at the very end, I was completely astonished’ Rosamund Lupton

The storyline was interesting as winning the lottery is something we all think/talk about at some point or another. The narrator of Lexi’s part however was awful. Far too wooden and stilted. Lines were read twice in many places - makes you wonder if any quality assurance is ever done on narration and editing. Enough to make me consider returning for poor quality editing halfway through. Performance of other characters was good however.

Easy to read story - narration and editing poor

I hadn’t read an Adele Parks books before, I chose this one as the subject matter was a bit different. The story didn’t turn out the way I expected. It had Interesting twist & turns right until the end, very good so I will definitely be downloading another AP book again 👍

Very good

I don't usually read/listen to this type of fiction book but I must say that I did really enjoy it. I found myself listening to it each even to get off to sleep which was great because I'd go to bed dreaming about winning the lottery.

There are some definite twists in the story which keep it interesting. In some places, you'll find a couple of the characters infuriating though and sometimes you're just unsure where the story is going.

Overall: Would recommend and worth the listen!

Great book, enjoyable, a little slow in places

This was brilliant. So many twists and turns mixed into the premise of a big lottery win, and the trials and strains a win like that can put on your relationships with loves ones. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Really loved the book, it kept you interested with surprises round each corner. Not v keen on the narrator tho, I don't think she did it justice which was a real shame

Great Read!

This is one of the best books I’ve listened to so far. The narration was good, engaging and easy on the ear. The storyline full of twists, turns and various characterisations that built gradually and naturally raised the tension. A fairly unique storyline too that is a breath of fresh air for those who like psychological thrillers. I will look for more from Adele Parks and the narrators in future. Highly recommended.

Great Book!

Good story

I’ve listened to this over 3 days of being unwell so had to listen to a few chapters over again. I enjoyed the story. Parts predictable and parts not. A whole load of personalities in this book. Worth a listen. I will keep trying the lottery as it’s not put me off winning it 😁

A good listen
