Looking for a totally bingeable caper with a terrific main character? Check out Lucky , the newest book from Marissa Stapley.Lucky. That’s what her father always told her she was. A grifter for as long as she can remember, she’s always been able to stay one step ahead—sometimes just barely.Now, she and her longtime boyfriend have pulled off a major multi-million-dollar scheme, and are ready to start a new life in Dominica with new identities, and they won’t have to grift anymore. But of cours...
No 26yo raised in the art of the grift would be this soft and naïve.
My reaction every time Reese announces a new book club pick . . . . I have tried to quit her, but I just cannnnnnn’t *insert sadface* because even though several of her choices have missed the mark for me, my brain keeps telling me there’s always that next Paper Palace coming up soon. Lucky is a grifter by trade who has been left penniless and on the lam by her boyfriend/partner in crime thanks to a Ponzi scheme gone wrong. And to make matters worse, she’s sitting on the winning ticket f...
This is a Suspense/Contemporary Fiction. This book has two storyline one is Lucky now, and the other one is Lucky's childhood. I guessed one of the twists from the beginning, but it did not take away from the story. This was a fun book, and the writing in this book was so great. I really enjoyed the characters in this book even through most of them have done some not so good things. I really loved the ending of this book. Great read. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher

Really enjoyed this!! ❤️ Review to come
I’ve had mixed luck with Reese Witherspoon’s book club picks. But the premise of this one piqued my interest. Lucky is a grifter. Her father was a grifter and brought her into the family “business” at a young age and taught her all the tricks of the trade. But now she’s grown up and he’s in prison. And Lucky’s luck has run out. Her boyfriend, Cary, has abandoned her and she’s wanted by the law. She’s got a winning lottery ticket, but she can’t cash it in without being caught. Lucky was an intere...
I’m glad this was only 230 pages. When you read over 100 books in a year, it’s easy to tell the good writing from the bad. This book felt forced. It was kind of corny. Almost like the creators of a hallmark movie tried to write a drama/thriller. Another Reese’s book club fail for me. But I finished it. Because it was 230 pages.
Completely implausible premise. Unsure why I kept reading. Reese, what were you thinking …
A quick read, Lucky is the story of a girl named Lucky and her journey of trying to evade arrest, finding her long-lost mother, and struggling with her morality. It poses questions surrounding the nature of goodness. Is our fate set in stone? Are we doomed to repeat our parents mistakes? Lucky explores these ideas and more. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Despite her criminality, Lucky is such an enigmatic character who you can’t help but root for. Additionally, the story is remarkably c...
