This book was another fast read. I had absolutely no connection with any of the characters, but they were interesting and sort of curious in a strange, abstract way. The main character was particularly unlikeable - but then we all need to be reminded that it takes all kinds... so as a story with a sort of deep explanation that we are all messed up for a variety of reasons, it was a good read.

I’m going to need to revisit this review when I’ve had a few days to think about it. I liked things. I didn’t like things. Trauma comes in lots of shapes and sizes.
I thought this book took too long to get to the reason she was "The Luckiest Girl Alive". Once it got there, it was more interesting, but I never liked the character. Perhaps if we had known more about her terrible ordeal earlier, it would have made her more of a tragic character that was worth rooting for - but as it was, I just thought of her as self-destructive.

This book should come with a few trigger warnings: eating disorders, sexual assault, and gun violence. But I couldn’t put it down!
