Luckiest Girl Alive
by Jessica Knoll
This book has two separate storylines and it would have been a lot better if it was two books. One is from the characters teenage perspective, where the character transfers to a new High School and has to deal with completely unbelievable, over the top high school experiences. This part of the book was acceptable because the main character was likable. You felt for her and wanted to see her overcome it all.
The second storyline is about the same character but she is in her late 20s. She has created the perfect life for herself. She lives in the most perfect area of Manhattan, has the perfect rich finance, the perfect writing job, the perfect engagement ring, and the perfect body due to her starvation diet. She's unlikable, she's bitchy, she's mean and she sucks.
So yeah. You have one good character with an awful plot and a second plot that is just unneeded.
I did give this book two stars though because the audiobook was well produced. From an actual writing prospective, I felt the author did a great job. Often, "chick lit" can read as amateur, lazy, or sophomoric. I never felt like that when listening to this novel.
