Summary

The woman who has it all.

Heather has lucked out. She has a beautiful house, a happy marriage to James Jessop, with two sons, Ben and Harry — and she’s just won the lottery. £29 million!

The loyal best friend.

Natalie has never quite kept up, but she’s finally in a relationship with a new boyfriend, Nick. She’s been best friends with Heather since they were bullied at school. But will her friend’s new fortune change their friendship?

A dream come true turns into a paranoid nightmare.

The Jessops’ comfortable life dissolves into chaos. Heather starts receiving anonymous, hateful messages. She begs Natalie to escape with her to Spain, along with a few other close friends. But away from the spotlight in London, things go from bad to worse. Then the unthinkable happens and Heather realizes she can’t trust anyone. Not even her best friend. Nothing will ever be the same again.

Absolutely BRILLIANT!💯💯 Narration OUTSTANDING as usual from Emma 💯💯👏🏽

I wasn’t sure about this story, but i am so glad i got it as i was hooked from the first chapter 🤗 I struggle to get a book to grip me and keep me interested, but this kept my interest throughout! It had me imagining all the lovely places and imagining exactly what this all would feel like if it happened to you. It was very well thought out because some of it I wouldn’t have even thought of but made perfect sense!! Emma’s narration was absolutely BRILLIANT as per usual 👏🏽💯 she managed so many different characters with ease! You know you will always enjoy a book read by her no matter what!😊 I’m sad this is finished, but glad i now have tips on what to do….. or NOT do, if i win the lottery 🤔🤗🤣 had very good twists that as per…. I got it wrong 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣 Thank you Susanna for an AMAZING story!!💯💯👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you Emma for your OUTSTANDING narration 💯💯👏🏽👏🏽 and Thank you audible for another WONDERFUL book!! I highly recommend!!💯💯💯💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽♥️♥️♥️xxxx

the worries of money

while not as wow as The Lost Brother, I still was hooked on and thoroughly enjoyed this well written book, It was finished in a day! It perfectly encaptured all the aspects of human nature and money - the stress of not enough or too much, the change of lifestyles, the generousness, the greed, the jealousness. But it also encaptured other aspects of human nature - friendship, fear, addiction, cruelty, selfishness, fear, thoughtlessness, healing. The characters had depth, the topics came to life and the twist was nicely done. A good read. once again the narration was very good.

fine for easy listen

it was kind of like a telly drama where it never really 'goes there' but was fun enough to listen to if it was on sale it would be fine 😁
