by Maria Barrett

Firm friends from the school run to Wynchcombe Primary, Sarah, Roz and Janie each have a dream. Sarah dreams of finding a way through the constant struggle to bring up her partially deaf son, Rory, alone; Roz dreams of keeping her farm afloat; Janie, a GP's wife, dreams of escaping the ever-growing emptiness in her life that she cannot explain. Then Janie's brother Marcus, a top city analyst, suggests that they set up an investment group - pooling their money and playing the stock market together - and introduces them to his stockbroker friend, Alex. With a mixture of luck, instinct and research, the group begin to make some serious the sort of money that makes dreams come true. But good dreams can easily turn bad. When the gains are high, so are the risks...

Reviews

[Muskan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kinda wholesome end.

[Jenise McKnight · Rating 2 out of 5]

The plot seemed a bit too obvious for me, but I was still compelled to read it.

[Roz Wilson · Rating 2 out of 5]

Easy to read but rushed at the end to tie up loose ends.
