I think we've all had a dream of what we would do if we won the lottery - expensive cars, paying off our houses, quitting our jobs, you name it. But I think the reality of that maybe ends a little differently for a lot of people - it ends with a lot of hands out and a lot of unwanted attention. Particularly when the winner is someone already in the spotlight.

Even though this book is all about a 75 Million dollar lottery winner (who also happens to be a former pro-athlete and ESPN commentator) - I think we've all had a dream of what we would do if we won the lottery - expensive cars, paying off our houses, quitting our jobs, you name it. But I think the reality of that maybe ends a little differently for a lot of people - it ends with a lot of hands out and a lot of unwanted attention. Particularly when the winner is someone already in the spotlight.

Even though this book is all about a 75 Million dollar lottery winner (who also happens to be a former pro-athlete and ESPN commentator) - there is really no imbalance on the scales of successful professionalism. Jean is a very successful woman - she works a high level job in the Mayor of New York's office managing events and public affairs. She is very busy and career focused. Jean and Patrick knew each other in high school when Jean tutored Patrick in math. He was interested in her then - but Jean's mom shut him down for various reasons. They meet again all due to Patrick's lottery win. Patrick pursues Jean pretty strongly but their very busy and VERY complicated lives keep pushing them apart. So much of what was going on with them was very realistically portrayed - even the drama of the lottery win and the stress it added to Patirck.

I give this one a solid 3.5 stars - I loved Jean and Patrick but sometimes it felt like they were in a long distance relationship - even though they lived in the same city. I also felt like the stuff they weren't telling each other - was something they really should have been. For two people to be in love - but not have the trust to talk about past relationship and major life-changing things seemed off. I also was kind of shocked when (view spoiler)

Overall I recommend it - Sandra Kitt is definitely a gifted author and writes amazing multicultural books with amazing strong black heroines. I adored Jean and loved seeing all of the other amazing black women in the book!

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, but these opinions are all my own. ...more

Boy, did Jean and Patrick have their work cut out for them. Between rekindling an old friendship that Patrick definitely wanted more from (then and now), fielding outrageous attempts from friends and strangers alike, and trying to find time for each other somewhere within busy schedules, I was tired for both Jean and Patrick. And when Patrick has one huge thing slap him upside the head, he’s forced to place Jean further down on his list. Even with all of that, Jean managed to support Patrick and ...more

Jan 31, 2021 Maryanne/MA rated it it was ok

Shelves: 2021-fiction, january-2021

Almost a DNF. The premise was good - about Patrick, a former athlete turned sportscaster, who wins $75 million in the lottery. The good news is that he reconnects with Jean, a woman he knew in high school. The bad news is the complications it brings - people coming out of the woodwork looking for a handout. I just didn't enjoy the writing style. I was also frustrated by the lack of communication between the two lead characters. The complications in the plot would never have been complications if ...more
