Good Luck

What could be worse than winning $87 million dollars? For Lucy Parker, the upbeat and hilarious main character in Whitney Gaskell's new novel, GOOD LUCK, it would be getting fired, having your car break down, and breaking up with your boyfriend on the same day. Things only get worse when the press sets-up camp on her front lawn to get the full story.

That's the trouble, despite being the luckiest girl in the world, her entire life manages to fall apart. With money, big instant lotto money, that is, every one wants a piece of Luck Parker. To escape the pressure, Lucy decides to hide in Palm Beach to find some anonymity. New hair color, clothes, and a car would seem like the perfect solution to the madness, but that's when the bigger drama of hiding the truth starts. Will Lucy Parker ever understand who she is and what she wants out of life?

GOOD LUCK is the perfect escapist novel that is outright funny, enjoyable, and entertaining from page one. I couldn't get enough of Gaskell's writing and laughable characters. This book is the perfect winter escape or beach read!

SUMMARY

Lucy Parker wins the lottery on the worst day of her life. But can all the money in the world make up for a cheating boyfriend, a derailed career, and ending up in the middle of a media circus? Everyone wants a piece of Lucy…and all she wants is to escape from it all.

After life as she knows it falls apart, Lucy heads off to Palm Beach to hide out at the home of an old college friend. There, living in a tropical paradise of millionaires, Lucy acquires a new hair color, a new social set, and enough anonymity to put her notoriety behind her. Soon she’s courted by two men who don’t know her history. But just as Lucy begins to envision a new life for herself, the past catches up with her. Lucy would give up every penny to have her old life back—as soon as she’s ready to cash it all in, fate has one last surprise in store for her…one that will show her exactly what she’s worth.
