I love it here, a coffee and a book as my company. Just me and my imagination drifting through those pages, feeding me emotions, helping me understand how being an island is not a bad thing, how love is for everyone, and that everyone deserves happiness.

Spoiler Free Review of Windfall By Jennifer E Smith

I give this book 4 ⭐️

Alice does believe in luck, at least, not the good kind. But she does believe in love, and for sometime now, she’s been pining for her best friend, Teddy. On his 18th birthday, just when it seems they might be on the brink of something, she buys him a lottery ticket on a lark. To their astonishment, he wins 140 million, and in an instant, everything changes.

At first, it seems like a dream come true, especially since the two of them are no strangers to misfortune. As a kid, Alice one the worst kind of lottery possible when her parents died just over a year apart from each other. And Teddy’s father abandoned his family not long after that, leaving them to grapple with his gambling debts. Through it all, Teddy and Alice have leaned on each other. But now, as they negotiate the ripple effects of Teddy’s newfound wealth, a gulf opens between them. And soon, the money starts to feel like more of a curse than a windfall.

As they try to find their way back to each other, Alice learns more about herself then she could have ever imagined … and about the unexpected ways in which luck and love sometimes intersect.

I have been a fan of Jennifers for the past several books, so I was excited to be able to get into windfall. Of course finding it on sale at Chapters Indigo helped it get on my shelf much quicker than I would’ve thought. Of all her books I think I like this cover more than the others.

Alice, a girl who lost her parents nine years ago, is still struggling to make your parents proud, by doing volunteer work and not taking risks. Is she really living for herself tho? Or has she been living for her parents the whole time?

Teddy, arrogant and cocky, is a typical teenage boy who is completely oblivious to the crush that Alice’s has had on him for years.

What will two teenagers, struggling with becoming adults, leaving home, and chasing their dreams end up doing with 140$ million dropped in their lap? You’ll have to read it to find out.

I don’t know about you guys, but I always crave contemporary books in the summer. Windfall is a perfect addition to your summer reading list for 2017.

Read it, Love it, Thank me later.

It’s June, yet this is the May Uppercase Box. Yes, I’m behind on life. Yes, I’m in the midst of a reading slump. But these boxes always make my day (if not my week)! I’ll get back to books soon. 😉📚💚💙

Today #ontheblog I shared my review of WINDFALL by @jenniferesmith!! I really enjoyed this adorable story. Although it was mostly fluffy and fun, several very important topics were also addressed, and in such a great manner. This was a perfect mix of adorable and important. A story of first love, tragic loss, and hope for a better future. 💚 . WINDFALL releases May 2nd! Visit my blog (http://lostinlit.com) to see my full ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review! .
