Lucky Marissa Stapley (Paperback)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK

A spectacular roller-coaster journey about a heist gone horribly wrong, including a plucky protagonist who will steal the hearts of readers.

What if you had the winning ticket to a life-changing lottery but couldn't pay it in?

Lucky Armstrong is a tough, accomplished thief who recently completed a million-dollar theft with her boyfriend, Cary. When things go wrong, she's ready to start a new life with a new identity. For the first time, Lucky is on her own, navigating the world without the assistance of her father or lover, the two people from whom she learned the art of the con.

When she learns that a lottery ticket she acquired on the spur of the moment is worth millions, her joy is tempered by one major problem: cashing in the winning ticket will result in her incarceration for her crimes. She'll spend the rest of her life in prison, with no possibility of redemption.

Lucky must reconcile with her father, discover her mother, who abandoned her when she was a baby and come to terms with the guy she thought she loved—whose dark past is catching up with her, too—as she tries to avoid capture and forge a future for herself.

This is a story about the importance of truth, personal salvation, and the complexities of being good. It presents a multifaceted, highly endowed heroine who must learn what it is to be self-sufficient and trustworthy... before her luck runs out.

Reviews: Lucky

"A gripping and exhilarating road-trip story about a gifted thief whose past catches up with her." — 49th Shelf

This is a page-turning novel... As the story evolves in a delightful manner, Stapley raises important concerns about punishment, atonement, and forgiveness. "Lucky is a journey with a kickass pal who just happens to be sharper and sneakier than everyone else." — Quill & Quire

[A] road trip novel that's a romp...It's no surprise that the TV rights to Lucky's horrific childhood with her conman father were sold to Disney, with Stapley chosen to write the pilot. This book club selection will undoubtedly spark spirited discussions about deception, truth, luck, nature vs. nurture in child development, and how to recognize a con a mile away. " — Zoomer

Lucky combines the sadness of Paper Moon and the sting of The Grifters, shot through with real heart and humor, making it an honest, moving, and compelling book about the art of the scam. You'll cheer for Luciana "Lucky" Armstrong—a bright, sexy, full-blooded character—to receive what she (really) deserves in life, which is for her luck to never run out. — LISA GABRIELE, bestselling author of The Winters

"Stapley has developed a complex woman who is just as seductive and compelling for her readers as she is for the individuals she defrauds—and fortunately, readers will only grow richer by getting swept away with her story of strange fortunes." — KERRY CLARE, author of Waiting for a Star to Fall

Lots of strong, intriguing women populate Stapley's works, and Lucky is no exception. Lucky Armstrong is the flawed, interesting heroine at the center of this thrilling story, and we're not sure where she'll lead us as we follow the twists and turns of her adventures—but it's a hell of a trip. " — ELIZABETH RENZETTI, bestselling author of Based on a True Story and Shrewed

"This romp kept me flipping pages late into the night, with deeper themes of identity, family bonds, and the value of truth in a life constructed on deception." "Perfect for book clubs or anyone searching for a good book to read." — COLLEEN OAKLEY, USA Today bestselling author of You Were There Too

"Marissa Stapley's extremely entertaining Lucky is destined to dazzle readers with an unusual plot, a brave-yet-vulnerable heroine, dubious villains, and plenty of terrible decisions." This fast-paced, expertly produced, and wonderfully written novel had me staying up late and waking up early to find out what happened to the winning lottery ticket. It was fantastic! " — HANNAH MARY McKINNON, bestselling author of Sister Dear

"A fugitive thief who wins the jackpot is only the first gambit in this high-octane, twisting narrative about Lucky, the daughter of a con artist who looks condemned to repeat her father's sins. Will the money save her and bring her atonement, or will it lead her down more sinister paths? You'll want to add this to your reading list right away. " — CATHERINE McKENZIE, USA Today bestselling author of I’ll Never Tell

In this exhilarating adventure, a crook with a winning lottery ticket tries to avoid capture...." Lucky's more desperate efforts heighten the stakes, while flashbacks to Lucky's youth, which was full of scams and failures, and Lucky's growing reckoning with reality add complexity. "This heartfelt page-turner has a lot of heart." — Publishers Weekly

When everything you've ever known has been a lie, who can you trust? Stapley's fourth book, Bonnie-and-Clyde meets Gone Girl's narrative about family and the desire for stability, asks that question. — Booklist

Meet Lucky Armstrong, a quirky heroine on the run from her past with a winning lottery ticket that could transform her life forever. Lucky is a story of survival, atonement, and forgiveness in which the power of second chances is explored. I adored this book since it was a gripping caper with a lot of heart! " — KARMA BROWN, bestselling author of Recipe for a Perfect Wife

"Stapley's magnificent language pierces the heart, and her grifter protagonist, both vulnerable and strong, is propelled forward by a brilliant premise." Stapley offers readers a fascinating, heart-wrenching journey of perseverance, hope, and atonement, with equally captivating parallel timelines. "A fantastic read!" — SAMANTHA M. BAILEY, #1 bestselling author of Woman on the Edge

"An exhilarating and emotionally fulfilling rollercoaster trip into the mind of a con artist with a golden heart." "Lucky is the most fun I've had reading a novel in a long time," says the author. — TAYLOR JENKINS REID, New York Times bestselling author of Malibu Rising and Daisy Jones & the Six

"A gripping tale about an atypical heroine on the run from her past with a winning lottery ticket that has the potential to change her life forever." But there's a catch: she won't be able to pay it in! I enjoyed the adventure's twists and turns, not knowing where Lucky would end up next. — REESE WITHERSPOON
