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.
A sharply observed, big-hearted novel about love, money, miscommunication and the courage to want less when you're being offered more. Spending the Jackpot is a bitter-sweet, lump-in-the-throat comedy perfect for fans of David Nicholls, Gillian Harvey and Nick Hornby.
