Only If You're Lucky

3.5

This follows a group of four college friends after a fraternity brother is found dead at a party. We get a dual timeline – before & after they are being questioned by the police about this event. This is a story about female friendship dynamics, jealousy, and obsession.

The scene is very much college frat party – lots of drinking and partying late into the night, which I didn't love because that's just not really my thing. The four girls live in a house owned by a frat and are constantly hanging out next door at the frat house.

I did enjoy the writing style. The way Stacy Willingham allows the plot to unfold and gives us reveals is very satisfying to me. I feel this way about all her books, but this is my least favorite of her three. Nothing really had me on the edge of my seat, but I was intrigued to see how everything wrapped up.

Thank you to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for an early copy in exchange for a review!

I didn't like Margot very much thru out the book and I found her to be annoying and obessed with the death of her friend Eliza and she doesn't really know who Lucy was I also didn't like her either I also found Lucy to be weird. And Margot only thinks Levi is the one who was responsible for Eliza's death apparently is wasn't him that did it so Margot got that all wrong but she also didn't know what really happened to her. Margot seems to be really rude to her parents always avoiding to go home maybe they want to know what is going in her life and they are worried about her being around people she doesn't know. And Margot is going to be very sorry one day when her parents aren't around anymore.

How would Margot know if Levi did anything to Nicole since Margot was next door the whole time at a party I really couldn't Margot always to be stuck up and the world is at her feet and knows everything but she doesn't.

Why is it any Margot's business where Eliza got the money from and she doesn't have to know anything or do any digging I am sure that Eliza would never do anything like that to Margot if she passed away.

Seems like Lucy is the one not to trust since she doesn't exist going to the school there and lying about who she really was and Lucy sounded like was the one killed Levi but towards the end of the book it was Nicole's boyfriend bulling Levi to do things that he didn't want to do and I am gave this book a 3 1/2 stars.
