Only If You're Lucky (add-on): Discussion Thread

[Trisha]

Lucy Sharpe is larger than life. Magnetic, addictive. Bold and dangerous. Especially for Margot, who meets Lucy at the end of their freshman year at a liberal arts college in South Carolina. Margot is the shy one, the careful one, always the sidekick and never the center of attention. But when Lucy singles her out at the end of the year, a year Margot spent studying and playing it safe, and asks her to room together, something in Margot can't say no—something daring, or starved, or maybe even envious.

And so Margot finds herself living in an off-campus house with three other girls, Lucy, the ringleader; Sloane, the sarcastic one; and Nicole, the nice one, the three of them opposites but also deeply intertwined. It's a year that finds Margot finally coming out of the shell she's been in since the end of high school, when her best friend Eliza died three weeks after graduation. Margot and Lucy have become the closest of friends, but by the middle of their sophomore year, one of the fraternity boys from the house next door has been brutally murdered... and Lucy Sharpe is missing without a trace.

A tantalizing thriller about the nature of friendship and belonging, about loyalty, envy, and betrayal—another gripping novel from an author quickly becoming the gold standard in psychological suspense.

(view spoiler)[ wow, so bang of a start
can't help but think - the now- that Lucy isn't actually dead, that she'll stumble forward after "missing" and have it all just be a misunderstanding.

I think they'll get away with killing this boy. But I wonder what he did to Margot's first friend. . . (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ wow, so I still think Margot is hiding out

I really hope Margot is jumping to conclusions and her friend wasn't hurt/attacked at the house party next door

but I can definitely see that being a catalyst for them to want to hurt Levi - because he's a man that hurts women

I still can't help but think that Margot tried to kill Levi previously - and that she accidentally killed Eliza
I still think Lucy is okay, just hiding out until she can step back out and show she's okay (hide spoiler)]

WOW! Whaaaaa???

First big twist!

46 chapters

(view spoiler)[I never, not once, thought to question Lucy's ability to be there. Margot had memories of her from the beginning so why would the reader question it. . .

I honestly thought our unreliable narrator was the MC - not Lucy

But we know Lucy. . .is real? The police are looking for her. . calling her Lucy (and her parents?!) so. . .wait. Did the police officer call her Lucy? or Just "your friend" hmmm. . .I didn't even think to question it! lol

so. . .is Lucy just hunting down 'bad guys' she sees from stories of deaths. . .and killing them?

but then, she didn't protect Nicole. hmmm. . . (hide spoiler)]

Okay, off to read more! I wanna know!!! lol

[Trisha]

and I'm done

(view spoiler)[ Okay, I called Margot killing Eliza. I thought something like that happened.

But Wow, I'm so sad it was Nicole's own boyfriend who hurt her, the guy who was supposed to love and protect her. What a jerk. I don't blame her for mistaking him and taking out her aggression.

But wow, for Sloane to kill Lucy to protect Nicole.

All three of them killed - all three of them have a reason to keep the secret. to reveal one is to reveal them all. (hide spoiler)]

ha! this one was so good!
