While her mom is at work Rico basically runs her family while attending high school - taking care of the budget, seeing the bills are paid, working herself after school and weekends at a convenience store, shopping for groceries, and caring for her little brother - and she really could use a break.
Working at the convenience store on Christmas Eve Rico sells a winning lottery ticket - but it hasn’t been cashed yet. Determined to find the kind, elderly woman she thinks bought the ticket, Rico joins forces with her unbearably smug and handsome football player classmate, Zan Macklin.
This YA romance is a fun read and may appeal to teen readers who loved Nic Stone’s Dear Martin and Dear Justyce. --Jessica Fenster-Sparber
