"This was such a unique concept for a book, and as soon as I read the synopsis I knew I was going to really enjoy it. It was everything I had hoped it would be. The characters were outstanding, witty, and funny. The plot moved along in a way that made the book hard to put down, and It was light-hearted and contagious just the way a chick-lit book should be. Jackie Pilossoph is what a good chick-lit writer is all about, she hit the story on the head with this one, and I loved the story from start to finish."
"Jackpot! Is a book I totally loved. I found it addictive. When having to stop reading, I found myself sneaking to read a page here and a page there. Now that I have finished I am ready to read another of Jackie Pilossoph's books. The witty dialogue, from both Danny and Jamie's point of view, the romance, the humor, and the wonderful characters are what catch my attention from page one. Anyone looking for a quick easy read with a lot of fun should definitely pick up this book."
"An enjoyable and fast-paced story, Jackpot is well worth the read."
"I absolutely LOVED this book and I think Jackie Pilossoph is an amazing author!!...Overall, this book was an amazing read, and EVERYONE should purchase it!!"
"Rating: absolutely loved it and want a sequel"
"There is a immense level of skill involved when writing a book that is both funny and thought provoking at the same time, I have to say that Pilossoph did it in perfect unison in her second novel JACKPOT!."
"I thought the entire novel had a very real feel to it, and I liked watching how it would all come together.... Jackie Pilossoph definitely hits the Jackpot! with her sophomore novel."
"So incredibly original and refreshing, it has all the elements that make it a fabulous read including witty dialogue, romance, humor, a remarkably original plot and wonderful characters. Jackpot! is a novel that readers of authors like Emily Giffin, Sophie Kinsella and Jennifer Weiner will adore!"
"The book brings to light how money does not buy happiness, nor solve all of life's problems. I recommend this to anyone looking for a light-hearted, funny, moving and 'happily ever after' read."
Jamie Jacobson doesn't have a lot of faith in love, except when it comes to her Jimmy Choo shoes. Her brother Danny has two loves; his barely existent acting career and his ability to pick up women. But life is about to take a wild turn for these two dysfunctional but lovable siblings now that their mother has just won the lottery.
Frankie, a longtime widow has wanted grandchildren for years. Now she's prepared to pay cash for them. When Frankie presents her son and daughter each with a contract promising $8 million dollars if he or she can produce a child in the next twelve months (DNA tested, of course), Jamie and Danny each begin a frantic search for a person to help them reproduce.
Come along on their desperate, outrageous and hilarious journeys where fake seductions, ovulation kits and a tarot-card reader are replacing condoms, the pill and fun, meaningless hook-ups. They hit a couple big bumps in the road that have nothing to do with their lack of diaper changing experience, but a lot to do with their hearts.
Now they face the choice of their lives. Give in to love? Or go for the JACKPOT?
