I thoroughly enjoyed Just My Luck. The twists and turns kept me hooked and I sped through the novel in just a few days. I particularly liked the gradual unravelling of the endless array of secrets and lies and the skilful portrayal of the characters' often contrasting reactions to the lottery win. It certainly made me think about how I might behave in such a scenario!

My questions for the author:

I'd like to ask Adele whether she has ever played the lottery and whether she would consider forming a syndicate with her friends.

I'd also like to know whether she spoke to any lottery winners or read up on lottery winners' stories while researching the novel.

Thank you very much for a copy of 'Just My Luck'. Looking forward to this one. I am going to start on it just as soon as I have finished my current read, 'His and Hers' by Alice Feeney.

Thank you for my copy, received yesterday, which I'll be getting stuck into shortly. I'm glad I didn't choose the e-book option, if it's for Apple devices only. I can't imagine reading a book on my tiny iphone screen!

Thanks for the book. I only received it yesterday, so the review will probably be later than the end of the month.

Was delighted to receive a copy of this book yesterday. Two chapters of my current book to finish and then I'm on to it. The blurb intrigues so hope it lives up to it.

Thank our very much - a copy arrived yesterday. As soon as I’ve finished the book I’m reading at the moment, I will start it and let you know my thoughts about it. Will there be a bit of an extension to allow us time to read it, as July is almost upon us?

I have received a code for an e-book. Unfortunately it can only be used on an Apple device and we don't have any.
Would anyone like me to PM them the code and instructions?
