Did I enjoy this book? This book was hard to put down! The story is told from the main character’s point of view, but flip-flops between present day and her past. The topic is timely and well written (if I elaborate, I’ll give away the whole plot!). The author does a fantastic job of making you love Ani and hate her at the same time. The only problem that I had with this book was the ending. There is a scene where some things are said between Ani and her fiancé, and I wanted there to be more meaning than there apparently was. Other than this missed opportunity, this book was excellent.

 

 

Would I recommend it? Absolutely! It’s a little dark and deals with some difficult subject matter at times, so I would proceed with caution. However, the book was well written, and the plot was excellent. I would absolutely recommend this book!

 

 

About the book – from Goodreads: HER PERFECT LIFE IS A PERFECT LIE.

As a teenager at the prestigious Bradley School, Ani FaNelli endured a shocking, public humiliation that left her desperate to reinvent herself. Now, with a glamorous job, expensive wardrobe, and handsome blue blood fiancé, she’s this close to living the perfect life she’s worked so hard to achieve.

But Ani has a secret.

There’s something else buried in her past that still haunts her, something private and painful that threatens to bubble to the surface and destroy everything.

With a singular voice and twists you won’t see coming, Luckiest Girl Alive explores the unbearable pressure that so many women feel to “have it all” and introduces a heroine whose sharp edges and cutthroat ambition have been protecting a scandalous truth, and a heart that’s bigger than it first appears.

The question remains: will breaking her silence destroy all that she has worked for—or, will it at long last, set Ani free?
