description: Let luck find you.Alice doesnt believe in luckat least not the good kind. But she does believe in love and for some time now shes been pining for her best friend Teddy. On his eighteenth birthdayjust when it seems they might be on the brink of somethingshe 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 Teddys 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 Teddys 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 imaginedand about the unexpected ways in which luck and love sometimes intersect.
