Only If You're Lucky

Stacy Willingham's "Only If You're Lucky" ensnares readers in a labyrinth of toxic female friendship and psychological suspense. Margot, still reeling from a devastating personal loss, finds her life taking an unsettling turn when her estranged best friend, Lucy, resurfaces with the magnetic and enigmatic Rome. The three women quickly forge an intense, almost claustrophobic bond, retreating to a secluded cabin for a summer where loyalty blurs into obsession. As their shared secrets deepen, the line between affection and manipulation becomes perilously thin, setting the stage for an inevitable collision. When the summer ends in tragedy – one woman missing, another dead – Margot must confront the chilling truth about their intertwined lives and the dark forces at play. Willingham masterfully crafts a propulsive narrative filled with chilling twists, exploring the insidious nature of jealousy, the masks people wear, and the shocking lengths to which some will go to protect their secrets.
