A book that tackles important contemporary issues, Luckiest Girl Alive is a coming of age story. Ani FaNelli is on the cusp of achieving the dream life she imagined as an insecure, troubled high schooler.A New Yorker working for a popular women's magazine who happens to be engaged to blue blood banker Luke Harrison, Ani is thrilled to see her years of crafting her image has come to fruition.
No longer the bullied TifAni FaNelli in high school who torments herself for apologizing to her rapists in hopes of remaining popular, Ani is ready to return to The Bradley School, her private high school, to film a documentary and show everyone what a success she has become.
Toggling back and forth between her current wedding and future planning in NYC with Luke and her high school days, Luckiest Girl Alive is not the best written novel, but is an important, thoughtful book.
The central characters are TifAni's high school friends: Arthur, Shark (Beth), HO (Hilary and Olivia), fellow new student and crush Liam, and soccer gods Dean and Peyton. Mr. Lawson is the teacher who attempts to help TifAni and sees her true self, even after reconnecting as adults when they become Andrew and Ani.
