I loved this first instalment of Bella's new book so much from down on her luck Regan, mysterious Kevin and his dog Elvis and Mantra the mindfulness group cracked me up as if you don't know Bring Me The Horizon sung a song called Mantra which kept going through my head while reading and isn't a classic to help with mindfulness really! The intrigue means I will certainly being reading the next part especially to see what will happen with handsome kind stranger Charlie and Regan.

The ending was a shocker prepare yourselves a wonderful drama rollercoaster ride of emotions book!

Many thanks to the publisher's for allowing me to review this book for them!

Windfall by Jennifer E. Smith

For eighteen year old Alice, buying a lottery ticket for the first time she was shocked to hear just how much you could win, way, way up in the Millions.
Growing up since age nine with her cousin Leo's family after her parents passed away, Leo is like a brother and she looks out for him through all his boyfriend issues alike he looks out for her back with her college application and her huge crush on Teddy their other friend whom she buys the lottery ticket for as it's his eighteenth birthday.

The next day after the draw all their lives have changed and a kiss between Teddy and Alice keep us rooting for their budding romance.

Teddy does buy a lot and get swept up into the media spotlight and for a start, his gambling father reappears however Alice can spot trouble ahead after all the bad in hers and Teddy's pasts.

The novel was beautifully written and showed the good and bad of a young lottery win but proves that romance can hide itself well until situations reveal the real you to each other and you support each other through huge life changes.

It's heartwarming and a lovely read about the issues of gambling, luck, love and loss.

Many thanks to the publishers allowing me to review it for them!
