Lottery by Patricia Wood

4.0

Cute book...told from the perspective of Perry - a twenty something, who is slow, not retarded. Perry's middle initial is "L", which he says is for lucky. He is lucky, because he wins the lottery. The story follows him from a few months prior to about a year after. He goes through loss, heartbreak and victory with lots of persistence and a pretty sweet group of friends. His family leaves a bit to be desired. Not a complicated book, but a good story. I liked that it was set in Seattle and I loved that he had such a devoted group of friends to help him navigate life. It is from his perspective, so some of the sentences are a bit clunky but you get used to it as a reader pretty quickly.
