Elyssa Friedland is the acclaimed author of Last Summer at the Golden Hotel, The Floating Feldmans, The Intermission, and Love and Miss Communication. Elyssa is a graduate of Yale University and Columbia Law School and currently teaches novel writing at Yale. She lives with her husband and three children in New York City, the best place on earth.
After the Jacobson siblings win a life-changing fortune in the
lottery, they assume their messy lives will transform into sleek,
storybook perfection–but they couldn’t be more wrong.
The
four Jacobson children were raised to respect the value of a dollar.
Their mother reused tea bags and refused to pay retail; their father
taught them to budget before he taught them to ride a bike. And yet, now
that they’re adults, their financial lives are in disarray.
The siblings reunite when their newly widowed father puts their Jersey
Shore beach house on the market. Packing up childhood memories isn’t
easy, especially when there’s other drama brewing. Matthew is miserable
at his corporate law job and wishes he had more time with his son;
Laura’s marriage is imploding in spectacular fashion; Sophie’s art
career is stalled while her boyfriend’s is on the rise; and Noah’s total
failure to launch has him doing tech repair for pennies.
When Noah sees an ad for a Powerball drawing, he and his sisters go in
on tickets while their brother Matthew passes. All hell breaks loose
when one of the tickets is a winner and three of the four Jacobsons
become overnight millionaires. Without their mother’s guidance, and with
their father busy playing pickleball in a Florida retirement village,
the once close-knit siblings search for comfort in shiny new toys
instead of each other.
It’s not long before the Jacobsons
start to realize that they’ll never feel rich unless they can pull their
family back together.
