Jackpot by Nic StoneMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Third time's for sure a charm for Nic Stone, who now proves herself once again as one of the most experimental and talented writers in all of YA. She started off harrowing with Dear Martin, gave us a seriously sticky exploration of sexuality in Odd One Out, and now, class and privilege and romance intersect in Jackpot, a gripping, emotional, and often funny sort of mystery. In addition to some little touches of fantasy when Stone writes interludes in the POVs of inanimate objects, such as the winning lottery ticket that serves as this book's MacGuffin. Or the countable threads on Zan's sheets. Or Jax's action figures. It's got a little of everything that makes great YA great, and it's another one I'll be helping eagerly sell at work for sure!
