Hard-up florist Molly Bailey has just won a fortune in the National Lottery. And she wants to get rid of it - fast! Tom Mackenzie is on the verge of losing his job. He needs one hell of a story if he hopes to secure his future in journalism. And his luck may have just come in. With a strong belief that sharing her good fortune is the only way forward, Molly unwittingly becomes the most sought-after person in the country as she distributes her wealth to the masses. With only her terrier pup, Fizz, and her trusty Beetle for company, Molly embarks on the journey of her life. But with Tom hot on her heels, will she succeed before her family and the media catch up with her? And, with Tom leading the pack, would that really be such a bad thing?

I see from the cover that one of Victoria Connelly's previous books has been filmed. I can easily imagine this one being snapped up by Hollywood. A witty, feel-good rom-com with a dizzy-but-delightful florist heroine who - refreshingly - cares more about her flowers and family than her footwear. The book takes the form of an extended road-trip, starting in the Lake District, during which Molly tries to give away the best part of her staggering lottery win. Why? Simply because she wants to share her good fortune and spread some happiness. On Molly's tail are her gruesome family (worthy of Roald Dahl) and a good-looking journalist (complete with unnervingly mature 10-year old daughter). Plot twists, laughs and romantic encounters come thick and fast, building up to a memorable dramatic climax in London - the "high spot" of the book.
A comedy that has more than a hint of fairy tale fantasy about it, but like all fairy tales, at its heart lies a battle between good and evil - in this case between generosity and greed. Connelly shows that "fun" doesn't have to mean "fluffy".

This is a great story to get into and end up feeling really good about the world - a wonderful change right now and you don't even have to be sat on the beach with a cocktail to feel a whole lot better!

Molly's Millions
The delightful romp through the English countryside with Molly and her little dog was most enjoyable and a nice change from the usual chiclit on the bookshelves of today. Pure in innocence and fun, with a little bit of mystery and nail biting as Molly makes her way from county to county, doling out part of her 4.2million pound win on the lottery, to deserving and hard working people.
The young journalist in pursuit of a good story, with his little daughter in tow, is led a merry dance by our heroine and her dog, which ends with a huge finale in London. Her family is perplexed and anxious to catch her before all her winnings are given away. The reunion with her long lost mother is touching and sensitive and adds to the story of Molly's life and explains some of her little quirks.
A thoroughly enjoyable read, light and easy and full of laughs, I would recommend this to anyone who needs a spot of cheering up.

a great read
A very thought provoking book. Just what would you do with the money if YOU won 4 million on the lottery? An great story, equally as easy to read in one go as in instalments.
