From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Dear Martin - which Angie Thomas, the bestselling author of The Hate U Give, called “a must read” - comes a pitch-perfect romance that examines class, privilege, and how a stroke of good luck can change an entire life.
Meet Rico: high school senior and afternoon-shift cashier at the Gas ‘n’ Go, who after school and work races home to take care of her younger brother. Every. Single. Day. When Rico sells a jackpot-winning lotto ticket, she thinks maybe her luck will finally change, but only if she - with some assistance from her popular and wildly rich classmate Zan - can find the ticket holder who hasn’t claimed the prize. But what happens when have and have-nots collide? Will this investigative duo unite...or divide?
Nic Stone, the New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin and Odd One Out, creates two unforgettable characters in one hard-hitting story about class, money - both too little and too much - and how you make your own luck in the world.
[A] funny, captivating, and thoughtful tale for young readers about class privilege, class deprivation, and the politics of luck and love.
- Ibram X. Kendi, The Atlantic
A delightful, hilarious romance that digs into issues surrounding class. You’ll laugh as much as you sigh while reading this novel about luck, love...and how having a little bit of both is more than enough.
