Fun dialogues. I liked how much the two main characters argue. Rico's mother seemed more underdeveloped plot device than character. I had to look up the Hebrew phrase, which never got referred to again, oddly?
This book was fantastic! Fun and flirty, but also with some really important social commentary. I highly recommend it. But personally, it's 4.5 stars. I wasn't totally satisfied with the twist at the ending...I don't know. I kind of wanted more of a conclusion I guess. But I still really liked this book overall!Will definitely check out more of Nic Stone's novels. :)
Overall, this was a fun (though also heartbreaking) read! I liked the characters and their quest to find the 'jackpot', but I was kind of disappointed by the ending 🙈
This book just absolutely blew me away. I knew very little about it going in, pretty much just what was written on the inside flap. I’m probably not going to do this book justice with my review and someone has probably said it better than me already but I’m going to give it a try! This book is so powerful and yet fun and so beautifully written, it just goes beyond words. The story it tells and the many different messages it sends is so damn important. I know I can’t say much coming from a place
Wow. Wowowowow. I think this book made my brain explode a little bit, but in a good way? So much to think about after finishing this one. I’ll write more of a review once I process my thoughts better, but for now: preorder this one. Nic never disappoints, but she REALLY did something great with Jackpot.
Reading previous reviews, I thought the story would be realistic and the cover made me believe there might be room for some interesting romance. I was wrong. This story is primarily about money. It's a YA book involving money and 17-18 year old kids with awful parents. The heroine, Rico, is complaining from page 1 to the end of the book. It's unbearable. Especially considering she doesn't have as much to complain about as she thinks she has. Yes, her mother made the worst choices, but she does h...
I did not write a review straight away after I consumed this novel is because I do not know how to put my love for this novel into words. This novel is literally on par with one of my other favourite romance book of all time – The Statistical Probability Of Love At First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith. The thing is, not many romance novels make it up to my favourite list as the genre that dominates the list is Fantasy and the fact that both of these romance novels crawled their way up to the list me...
Even though I predicted the ending of this one pretty early on, there is just something about Nic Stone's writing that really does it for me and I liked this one SO MUCH. My favorite bits were the parts written in the perspective of different inanimate objects because I feel like they just really gave this that little extra something and honestly y'all this was just so fun and you need to read it!!!
Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestJACKPOT is the story of a teenage girl living about an inch above the poverty line. She works at a convenience store clerk which is how she ends up meeting the woman who bought the winning lottery ticket and also the rich young heir, Zan, who ends up playing willing accomplice to her heist to notify the woman of her good fortune and, perhaps, get a cut of that sweet, sweet cash.I haven't read anything by this author before, although I do
Let me preface by saying I'm not a fan of Stone's writing style. I only read this because I thought it was a 2020 pub and I needed something new to read during the quarantine.Issues I Had With This Book:* The Writing Style-Although I think Stone thinks she's a critical writer, she's not. Her writing style is very basic and it doesn't challenge the reader-uninspiring. There needs to be several things happening to make a critical book and Jackpot didn't have any of those things-great characters; t...
Haven't read this yet, just combatting an absurd rating from someone else who has certainly not read it. Will update when I've actually read it.
I can’t tell if I want to give this four or five stars. I honestly didn’t expect to like it so much. I really liked all of the characters (except the mother, who drove me crazy.) I related to Rico a lot and I also liked all of the conversations between the characters. Also Zan is like one of my favorite YA love interests ever. Not going to lie. He had problems, but he was obviously very into Rico from the beginning and was so sweet about it. He also did a lot for her, just providing support. A l...
