Only If You're Lucky by Stacy Willingham

3.0

3.5 stars. Unfortunately, this Willingham book missed the mark for me. I have loved her other books so I expected more. I do realize, it is probably pretty difficult for authors to continually live up to their previous hits... But yeah, I just didnt love it. If you like a slow burn thriller/mystery, you might love this. It is VERY slow burn and not much happens until about 70%. The other thing I did not love about it, was the fact that it felt very YA. I dont think it was adult at all. The main characters are in high school in the past and college in the present.... so, I did not find it to be an adult read. I did enjoy the ending of the book so that bumped my original rating up a quarter star. I feel bad not loving this book more, but I do think there is an audience for it; I just was not it.
