Damnn these bitches is trouble.
My least favorite Willingham book so far, unfortunately. I just couldn't get into the plot or any of the characters, probably in part because my undergrad experience was so vastly different. I think there's just too much drama in this one? Either way, this one didn't burn anywhere near as intensely as her first book which I LOVED, or the second which was good but not amazing.

The beginning of Only If You're Lucky was slow and pretty boring, it picks up in the middle and is great at the end.
A decent thriller with some twists I didn't see coming.

I’m sad to say that I didn’t really finish this book satisfied.
Another reader and I were taking about it and the ending kind of felt slapped together. Almost like the publicist was putting the pressure on and so the author had to wrap it up in a hurry. I was bored at times and felt the storyline was a bit weak nonetheless, I’ve given it 3.5 stars because though I was disappointed, it was still fairly readable and had just enough intrigue to keep me going. It definitely brought back lots of memories from university, both dark and light. But hey, don’t take my word for it, lots of people have loved it and I’d love to hear what you think!

First 50% of this book was a bit dragged out. I considered DNFing it. But as I didn’t have anything else to listen to, I kept going.
It’s ok. At first I was considering 3.5-4 stars but I thought if I had a physical book, would I have kept it? And the answer is probably no. So I rated it 2.5 stars (rounded up to 3)
There’s LOADS triggers in here. Check content warnings before reading it.
I’m not very good guessing plots so I didn’t expect this ending. It came as a surprise to me really. But maybe I’m just not so used to this type of book.
And as you can guess, not everything is as it seems and not everyone is who they say they are. Plot twist 😉
