'This book has it all: a college campus rocked by a sudden tragedy; female friendship tested to the brink; and twists you won't see coming. Willingham gets better with each book, and this is my favorite yet' Marie Claire'A delicious thriller about envy and friendship' Woman's Own“Utterly hypnotic. Only If You’re Lucky seduces the reader into a spiderweb of beguiling friendships, sinister secrets, and the quicksilver danger lurking behind even the tightest of bonds. Reader beware—this will keep you breathless to the very end.” Lisa Gardner‘A twisty mystery that carefully unspools itself with each chapter, Only If You’re Lucky is the kind of book that will grip a reader and refuse to let go. With intricate plotting and ratcheting tension, this story masterfully examines the intoxicating nature of friendship between teenage girls and young women, and the tight orbits they create – and destroy. At its core are secrets that corrode even the strongest bond, and the lengths a person will take to spin lies into truth. Dark, intense, and completely addictive.’ Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here 'What a book! A pitch dark, pitch perfect novel, so immersive and atmospheric. I was lost in the world of this South Carolina college but desperate to keep turning pages to find out what was going on. Beautifully written, a stunning thriller. There aren’t enough superlatives.' Andrea Mara, Author of No One Saw a Thing ‘A wonderfully disturbing read. I loved the setting and the set-up, all so febrile and the cloying obsessiveness of the narrator – I raced through it’ Sabine Durrant, Sunday Times Bestselling Author of Lie With Me
