I read Only If You're Lucky by Stacey Willingham and really loved it. It's a mystery that follows four college roommates after their neighbor has mysteriously been murdered and their fourth roommate, sort of the glue to the friendship, disappears without a trace. Something I found unique about this book is that the chapters alternate along the timeline. One chapter may take place before the accidents while the next chapter takes place after. I felt as though this story had a lot of attention to detail and great dialogue. Something I especially loved about it was the ending. When one of the first parts of the intricate mystery was solved, I was sort of like, "Meh. That was pretty predictable," but then, piece by piece more things were revealed and all of the plot twists seriously caught me off guard. If you're into mystery and suspenseful stories, this book is definitely a good one!
