Only If You're Lucky
by Stacy Willingham
Actual rating: 2,5 stars
Only If You’re Lucky had a really good premise that failed to deliver early on. The plot was just plain boring. Nothing happens until the end, which doesn’t make up for the rest of the plot. When the twists weren’t predictable, they were either very hard to believe or very convenient.
The main character was bland, and I never understood why Lucy was portrayed as such an interesting person when we never really see what makes her so interesting.
This was a very different reading experience than All the Dangerous Things by the same author, which I had really enjoyed. Stacy Willingham’s writing is very good, and I’m still interested in reading her other books.
