Windfall

Windfall

This romantic story of hope, chance, and change from the author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is one Jenny Han says is filled with all of her "favorite things," Morgan Matson calls â€œsomething wonderfulâ€ and Stephanie Perkins says â€œis rich with the intensity of real love.â€

Alice doesnâ€™t believe in luckâ€”at least, not the good kind. But she does believe in love, and for some time now, sheâ€™s been pining for her best friend, Teddy. On his eighteenth birthdayâ€”just when it seems they might be on the brink of somethingâ€”she buys him a lottery ticket on a lark. To their astonishment, he wins $140 million, and in an instant, everything changes.

At first, it seems like a dream come true, especially since the two of them are no strangers to misfortune. As a kid, Alice won the worst kind of lottery possible when her parents died just over a year apart from each other. And Teddyâ€™s father abandoned his family not long after that, leaving them to grapple with his gambling debts. Through it all, Teddy and Alice have leaned on each other. But now, as they negotiate the ripple effects of Teddyâ€™s newfound wealth, a gulf opens between them. And soon, the money starts to feel like more of a curse than a windfall.

As they try to find their way back to each other, Alice learns more about herself than she ever could have imagined . . . and about the unexpected ways in which luck and love sometimes intersect.Â
