Quotes/Reviews

‘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.
