I found this book really cute. But it has handled alot of harder topics and how money even though winning the a ton of money does not save everything. I really did like Maddie as a lead character. I also found the book boy friend to be super cute. I wanted to see a little bit more of the boy and Maddie interaction in the book but i got threw it so fast. It made me think about what i would do If i won all that money. It was a really quick read and i def. want to read more by her in the future. ( )

Unfortunately this wasn't as good as the other books I have read from this author. The premise was actually engaging and it was a fairly realistic portrayal of what I imagine would happen if a teenager won 50 million bucks. I thought the increasing pressure from her 'friends' and her developing trust issues was done well. The main issue I had was with the main character's voice. She read more like a 13 or 14 year old not an 18 year old. It was quite off putting. An okay book. ( )

Maddie is a bright, responsible teen, who is always organized and focused on attaining her goal of being admitted and getting a scholarship for college. She has a couple of best friends who meet for regular study sessions on Friday nights. And she has a regular job at the local zoo, where she’s frequently paired with Seth, another teen staffer. There are some issues in her family, but she’s handling it. And then … well, she wins the lottery and now she isn’t sure who is really her friend and who just wants to use her for her millions.

This is a pretty typical YA romance. The interesting twist, of course, is Maddie’s status as a BIG lottery winner, and that definitely does complicate things for her. She quickly learns that she is way too trusting and naïve, and that even family members may not have HER best interests at heart. But Maddie isn’t even sure SHE knows what her best interests are.

I really liked Maddie. She’s young and inexperienced but generally has a pretty good head on her shoulders. She values family relationships and her friends who have known her both before and after her status as a multi-millionaire. Her friendship with Seth is a touchstone in her life and I certainly understand her reluctance to see it change. And speaking of Seth, he’s a pretty good guy.

All-in-all, a fast, fun read. ( )
