Luckiest Girl Alive
by Jessica Knoll
*TW* This book contains sexual assault & gun violence descriptions.
3.5 ⭐️ An absolutely wild ride that takes you inside the mind of someone who has experienced horrible tragedy - but who is not a sympathetic character. Ani experiences horrible treatment from her fellow students, intense bullying, treatment no 14-year-old should ever have to deal with, and two pretty terrible parents - all while she grapples with males taking advantage of her and a horrific crime she gets partially blamed for.
The thing I found most interesting was that… she’s not likable. She is not the perfect victim. She’s not the person you identify with, or see yourself or your friend or loved one in, that would make her a more sympathetic character. She’s cold, brazen, cruel and calculating. Being inside her mind is more akin to being inside the mind of the villain, not the victim. At the end of the day though, she’s a human being who is imperfect and has suffered tragedy - and you find yourself rooting for her to save herself.
