Molly’s Millions is Victoria Connelly’s fourth book, and even though one of her books has already been made into a film, this is her first book to be published in the UK.
The bright pink cover is the first thing that attracts with this book. The second is the beginning of the first chapter where you’ll be drawn into a fun, fast-paced romantic comedy that leaves you with a smile on your face and a feeling that although Molly makes choices that we might not automatically make, they were definitely the right ones.
When hard up Molly Bailey wins £4.2 million in the lottery, rather than go on a mad spending spree, she packs up her terrier pup, Fizz into her ancient yellow Beetle and sets off on a road trip. With few plans, an unsuspecting miserly family who she knows would be horrified by her actions and would want to stop her giving away her money at all costs, and a determined journalist chasing her, she has to use her wits if she is to stay one step ahead of them.
Intent on being the one to discover the next big story, Tom Mackenzie has a companion of his own when his ten-year-old daughter is left with him by her mother. He becomes absorbed by Molly’s motives behind her generosity and, helped by tip-offs and grateful benefactors, manages to stick to her trail.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this wonderful book and can imagine it would make an excellent film too.

I've got a signed copy. Woohoo!
Well how weird to read this. My son's called Tom Mackenzie...and she has a terrier, just like I do. Have to read it now:)
Sound like a great book.
I had the pleasure of reading this before it found a publishers. I loved it then, and must get a copy to see what the final published version is like. Victoria is a wonderful writer!
Sounds really good fun :o)
