larripaz 's review for:
Luckiest Girl Alive
by Jessica Knoll
I read some of the negative reviews and almost didn't read it, but I'm glad I did. Yes, the narrator is not particularly likable, but if you actually read to the end you can understand why she is like she is. And she recognizes how unlikable she is and what her flaws are. It's a good story, and one thing I appreciated was the consistency of the character and that her "redemption" is as messy and complicated and unpleasant as she is. (I don't get comparisons to Gone Girl - huh? That doesn't make any sense.) I thought the adolescent sections were pretty spot on in terms of how teenagers talk and relate to each other. I can see why it's not for everyone, but I think it's worth reading.
