Produktbeschreibung

When Rosie Caballero wins the largest lottery jackpot ever, her life turns upside down as she navigates the dizzying world of wealth and fame.

Rosie hates her nagging boss, her "ditch-me" dating history, her second-hand wardrobe and third-rate job-nothing is easy. She can't even afford to pay for her dog Tootie's food. But then, Rosie wins an incredible 600 million dollars in the lottery.

Suddenly thrust into a life of luxury, Rosie spends thousands on diamonds, makeup, clothes, and promises. She parties like a celebrity and even meets the hottest actor on the planet, Brad Merritt, who sweeps her off her feet and seems too good to be true. But he's not the only one vying for her attention (and money)-former boyfriends, larcenous advisors, and paparazzi all swarm around her in this dizzying new world.

In this insightful and humorous tale from Cuban American author Berta Platas, Rosie must navigate the opportunities and pitfalls that come with her change of luck. Between shopping sprees and photo shoots, she has to find out who she can trust-and what money can (and just can't) buy. Lucky Chica is a relatable contemporary romance about hitting the jackpot, making changes, and finding love.
