We will be reviewing Luckiest Girl Alive along with our book club discussion questions for August 31st, 2017.
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?
From hardcover version, 338 pages, copyright 2015, publish by Simon and Schuster.

I am looking forward to reading this exciting book!
Oh wow, that synopsis sure is chilling! I think there is a lot of pressure these days to have a perfect life, but no one can truly have or attain it. I am curious to know where this book is going with that secret…
Hi Olivia!
There’s a lot of pressure for people to fit in and it starts young…
The book is great so far.
What is she hiding??? I want to know so badly. I hope you find the MC more compelling than Erica.
Hi Lonna!
It’s very interesting and it’s not what I was expecting!
Good luck with your read through! I hope you have better luck than I did. I couldn’t stand the MC and had to DNF.
Hi Erica!
Oh that doesn’t sound good… a did not finish…
So far I am enjoying the book and the main character is okay…
Yikes! The summary sounds so amazing, though.
