Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll
3.0

An enjoyable book to a degree. I hated most of the character, it's hard to love them. They're bitchy, dumb, assholes, and much more. I think that's a good reflection of a lot of people in life though. Evil, manipulated, and straight up jerks. So it comes down to if you can stomach these type of people, and what they stand for.

The twist different feel forced or badly done, though I had gathered what would happen around page fifty, but it didn't hurt it. Just like Gone Girl, there's stories that have twist but aren't shoved down your throat to love. Just well done enough to give a extra boost to the story. Plus I did actually enjoy the scene itself, it was sad and frighten, and well handled.

Overall Luckiest Girl alive is both dark, moody, somewhat funny at times, and disgusting. A lot of pieces of shit swirl around in this world. Yet it shows humanity at it's lowest. You'll have to be able to get through themes and subject matters of rape, death, murder, and so on. If you can, this might be a good enough book for you to check out and maybe even enjoy.
