Only If You're Lucky by Stacy Willingham

Set on a college campus, we follow roommates, who live in a house connected to a frat house.

Margot is the narrator and used to be a very responsible girl until she met up with Lucy, Nicole, and Sloane.  Lucy was especially poisonous.

Margot also arrived at college three weeks after her high school friend had passed away. That hangs over the storyline the entire time, and she is the gist of the book.

The book goes back-and-forth when Margo’s friend was alive and then back-and-forth current day when they tell what happened before one of the frat guys is murdered and after he is murdered.…very confusing.

It did give you something to think about, though.

Do you really know your friends?

Do you really make the right choices for your friends?

Things did become revealed in the end, but ONLY IF YOU’RE LUCKY just didn't cut it for me. 

There is a huge twist at the end, but not enough to raise up my rating.

It was not a book that I wanted to get back to. The college antics simply dragged. 2/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.

  1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one. I've enjoyed a couple of the author's previous books but I'm inclined to give this a pass.

    1. You are welcome - I do try my best to be forthright.

      I RARELY give a bad review so you know I didn't like it when I give a low rating.

      Thank you for your comment, Mystica.
