Michelle 's Reviews > Only If You're Lucky

This is my second Stacy Willingham novel and I realize this author isn't for me. Just like A Flicker in the Dark, the plot of Only if You're Lucky is overly contrived and unnatural.

I can believe wild schemes and scams in fiction (that's why I read it) but the when the entire plot hinges on the main character's inability to understand the obvious things taking place around her I feel violent.

I won't give away any plot points, but it is apparent to the reader and would be to any woman but our main character is clueless...of course, because her actions would differ if she wasn't a forced caricature of a human and the story would be wrapped up quickly. So we, the readers, are left waiting for her to catch up to us....which is the opposite of how any good mystery/thriller should be.
