About this ebook

A sharply observed, big-hearted novel about love, money, miscommunication, and the courage to want less when you're being offered more.

They say money changes everything. But what if you were already happy before it arrived?

Alice Cash always considered herself lucky. A kind husband. Two lovely children. A cosy house. A three-star Spanish holiday every year. What more could anyone want?

Then her husband Freddie wins £2.3 million—and everything begins to unravel.

Suddenly it's Rolexes, Porsches, and private school interviews. Gone is their annual trip to Casa Lola. In its place: a luxury hotel full of snobs and strangers. As Freddie chases a glitzier future, Alice quietly mourns the life they've left behind—and starts giving their money away in secret. But while Freddie tries to 'upgrade' their lives, he's hiding a secret of his own. One that could bankrupt their marriage in more ways than one.

Spending the Jackpot is a bitter-sweet, lump-in-the-throat comedy perfect for fans of David Nicholls, Gillian Harvey, and Nick Hornby.
