Girl Alive

HER
PERFECT LIFE
IS A PERFECT LIE.
As a teenager at the prestigious Bradley School, Ani FaNelli endured a shocking, public humiliation that left her desperate to reinvent herself. Now, with a glamorous job, expensive wardrobe, and handsome blue blood fiancé, she’s this close to living the perfect life she’s worked so hard to achieve.
But Ani has a secret.
There’s something else buried in her past that still haunts her, something private and painful that threatens to bubble to the surface and destroy everything.
With a singular voice and twists you won’t see coming, Luckiest Girl Aliveexplores the unbearable pressure that so many women feel to “have it all” and introduces a heroine whose sharp edges and cutthroat ambition have been protecting a scandalous truth, and a heart that's bigger than it first appears.
The question remains: will breaking her silence destroy all that she has worked for—or, will it at long last, set Ani free?

world that Ani has tried so hard to build.
Luckiest
Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll is perhaps the most unique and
fascinating book I have read this year. The
author has crafted a story that deals
with some tough and dark issues that will shock you, enrage you and in the end
surprise you. Ms. Knoll has a distinctive writing
style that really involved me in what was going on with the characters and the
plot. My only big complaint is that I
felt like I missed out on something while reading, because part of the ending
just confused the heck out of me.
Otherwise, the writing is brilliant and the story engrossing - full of
so many twists that you will be hanging for dear life as you try to keep up.
Would I recommend this book?
Sure. Absolutely. It's definitely
a riveting novel that will keep you engaged throughout wanting to know more. Jessica Knoll has written an outstanding
story and I look forward to future novels written by her.
A special thanks to Simon & Schuster for providing me
with an Advance Reader's Edition in exchange for an honest review.
