This was my favorite read so far by this author.  The sibling dynamic and dialog was spot on, especially since I myself come from a family with 4 siblings.  I got such a kick out of their text chain.  The issues and stress caused by the loss of their mother was felt more deeply than the issues they faced once they won the Powerball.  They had to lean on each other to get through and find themselves.
