About this listen

Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll is an audacious, page-turning debut thriller that will appeal to fans of Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins and Jodi Picoult.

Her perfect life is a perfect lie . . . Ani FaNelli is the woman who has it all: the glamorous job, the designer wardrobe, the handsome and rich fiancé. But behind her sharp edges and meticulously crafted facade lies the darkest of pasts . . .

When a documentary producer invites Ani to tell her side of the chilling and violent incident that took place when she was a teenager at the prestigious Bradley school, she hopes it will be an opportunity to prove how far she's turned her life around since then. She'll even let the production company film her lavish wedding, the final step in her transformation.

But as the wedding and filming converge, Ani's past threatens to come back and haunt her. And as her immaculate veneer starts to crack, she is forced to question: will breaking her silence destroy all that she has worked for – or, will it at long last, set Ani free?

A New York Times bestseller, Luckiest Girl Alive has been optioned for film by Reese Witherspoon – in conjunction with Lionsgate films.

I very rarely write reviews, but I just wanted to say how different this book is , how the hero is not always perfect, but sometimes shallow and maybe not very likeable, 'not the case for me'. I thought she was a brilliant character, so well thought and most of all very real. I would recommend this book to everybody.

Surprised by how good this book is.

I loved Tiffany and her story brought me to tears at points. Very realistic and very true of this age character... Well done

Brilliant !!

Loved it. Tiffany seems to be an unlikeable character but her story is compulsive listening. I would definitely recommend it.

What a great listen

Is there anything you would change about this book?

For me the lead character would have to be more likeable

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The basic story line was good and the switching from past to present worked well

What does Madeleine Maby bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I thought the narrator was excellent

Do you think Luckiest Girl Alive needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No but I would try another novel by the same author

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the narrative style but found the character of Tiffany/ Ani so unpleasant. I see a previous reviewer said she loved Tiffany so there we are, it's all up to you. It was a good premise for a novel although it was fairly easy to guess what was going to happen

Hard to empathise with main character

Honestly I got a few hours into this book and thought about returning it. I’m so glad that I didn’t!
As a woman who has (like the majority of women) suffered an attack I would like to give a rape trigger warning!
The thoughts of the main character are so honest and self deprecating that it can be hard to listen to. However when you uncover the truth of the situation she is incredibly relatable. One of the best books I’ve read dealing with this difficult subject. 5⭐️

Stick with it!
