A Flicker in the Dark was one of my 2023 5 star reads, so, when I receive the ARC for Only If You're Lucky, I knew I'd be in for a treat. 

While her books are mysterious and suspenseful, Willingham is always able to intertwine coming of age aspects that make her books unputdownable, and Only If You're Lucky stays true to that. 

With alternating time-lines that kept me hooked, and the just one more chapter craveability, Stacy Willingham has done it again and secured her spot as one of my favorite authors. I cannot wait for her next read! 

Highly recommend this for thriller/mystery lovers and fans of Jennifer Hillier and Riley Sager.
