Summary
HER PERFECT LIFE IS A PERFECT LIE.Ani FaNelli seems to have it all: a glamorous job at a glossy magazine; an enviable figure with the wardrobe to match; and a handsome fiancé from a distinguished blue blood family. But Ani FaNelli is an invention, that veneer of perfection carefully assembled in an attempt to distance herself from a shocking, sordid past. As her wedding draws near, a documentary producer invites Ani to speak about the chilling incident that took place when she was a teenager at the prestigious Bradley School. Determined once and for all to silence the whispers of suspicion and blame, Ani must weigh her options carefully, when telling the whole truth could destroy the picture-perfect life she's worked so hard to create. With a singular voice and a twist you won't see coming, Luckiest Girl Alive explores the deep-seated desire to fit in and the unbearable pressure that so many women feel to "have it all." Ani FaNelli is a complex and vulnerable heroine-one whose sharp edges protect a truth that will move, scandalize, and surprise you.
The plot was solid, and you really start to feel for the main character, who is angry and distant. However, the narration had numerous uncomfortable breaks. I ended up speeding it up to double the normal speed just to make it bearable.
I absolutely loved the writing style of this book. Despite reading some reviews that claimed the opposite, I found it to be incredibly suspenseful and captivating.
It's not an easy task for a writer to create a main character that you initially dislike, gradually come to understand, and finally start rooting for. However, this book successfully accomplishes that.
I never got the feeling that the author relied on clichés, especially when addressing the sensitive topic of bullying in schools.
I highly recommend this book to others.
I really enjoyed how this book began, grabbing my interest right from the start. However, somewhere in the middle, it took a disappointing turn. I was hoping for a much better ending, so I can't help but feel let down.
