"Fresh, funny, biting and shocking- Luckiest Girl Alive kept me riveted from cover to cover. I absolutely loved it." -Lauren Weisberger, New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada, " Luckiest Girl Alive is Gone Girl meets Cosmo meets Sex and the City . . . . Knoll hits it out of the park."- Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The most compelling debut novel I've read in years! Luckiest Girl Alive is intriguing, surprising, and even shockingly funny at times. And Ani FaNelli is a complex, heartbreaking, and unforgettable heroine., "When Ani FaNelli wants something, she gets it: the job, the body, the man. What starts as a Mean Girls- seeming story line transforms into something so dark, so plot-twistingly intense that...well, actually, no spoilers here." - Marie Claire, "Readers guessing what the 'dark underbelly' of this story is can guess again. It is just the beginning, a trap set by the author [who] scatters the clues so obscurely and randomly that peeking at the ending is just a waste of time. . . . No shortcuts here. . . . Knoll's knack for social nuances on both sides of the socioeconomic tracks deserves mention for the high praise it already is receiving in the book world."- Buffalo News, "This is going to be the book you insist all your friends read this summer. . . . [A] clever, cunning satire on the female condition in the 21st century."- Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, "Knoll slowly reveals the harrowing truth in a debut that's part The Devil Wears Prada , part We Need to Talk About Kevin ."-- O Magazine, With the cunning and verve of Gillian Flynn but with a febrile intensity all its own, Jessica Knoll's Luckiest Girl Alive is a debut you won't want to miss. Sly, darkly funny and chilling-to-the bone, it gets under your skin and stays there., "A knockout debut novel . . . completely enthralling . . . devilishly dark and fun."-- Publishers Weekly, "Luckiest Girl Alive is crime fiction at its best, proving the genre's deep connections to society's fears, ambitions, and ability to question the status quo. . . . Jessica Knoll is a writer to keep an eye on, especially after being compared to Gillian Flynn by Megan Abbott. . . . However, I have found enough personality in Knoll's debut novel to let her stand on her own, rather than label her 'the next Gillian Flynn.' Knoll's version of the feminist crime novel is more steeped in pop culture than Flynn's, and Ani's psyche has nothing to envy of Amy's: they are both troubled, and they both put up outstanding gender and class performances. But while Amy is more private and emotional, Ani relies on modern fashion references that will thrill even Vogue , Cosmo , and Glamour readers. . . . . Luckiest Girl Alive is the ultimate critical companion to millennial femininity."- Los Angeles Review of Books, "Jessica Knoll brilliantly constructs a new literary frenemy you'll love to hate in this New York Times instant bestseller." - The Huffington Post, Fresh, funny, biting and shocking- Luckiest Girl Alive kept me riveted from cover to cover. I absolutely loved it., "At turns funny, shocking, violent and heart-rending, Luckiest Girl Alive hooks its reader and doesn't let go. Jessica Knoll's twisted, twisting debut beautifully explores reinvention, retribution and redemption-and all the rawness in between." -Miranda Beverly-Whittemore, New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet, "Knoll introduces you to your new best frenemy, and you're going to love it. . . . Destined to become one of the summer's most gripping reads."--Bustle.com, "[Ani FaNelli is] a cross between Sex and the City 's Carrie Bradshaw and Gone Girl 's Amy Dunne. . . . Knoll's debut truly delivers and will keep readers engaged until the end." -- Library Journal, "Knoll slowly reveals the harrowing truth in a debut that's part The Devil Wears Prada , part We Need to Talk About Kevin ."- O Magazine, "[Ani FaNelli is] a cross between Sex and the City 's Carrie Bradshaw and Gone Girl 's Amy Dunne. . . . Knoll's debut truly delivers and will keep readers engaged until the end." - Library Journal, "Readers guessing what the 'dark underbelly' of this story is can guess again.

Luckiest Girl Alive is intriguing, surprising, and even shockingly funny at times. And Ani FaNelli is a complex, heartbreaking, and unforgettable heroine." -John Searles, author of Help for the Haunted, Luckiest Girl Alive is a wickedly well-plotted page-turner that lifts back the veil of Ani FaNelli's glamour and privilege to tread amongst the sharp emotional thorns lying beneath. Knoll's novel dazzles with humor, cultural insight, and thematic heft., "This is going to be the book you insist all your friends read this summer. . . . [A] clever, cunning satire on the female condition in the 21st century."-- Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, "Fresh, funny, biting and shocking-- Luckiest Girl Alive kept me riveted from cover to cover.

Sly, darkly funny and chilling-to-the bone, it gets under your skin and stays there." -- Megan Abbott, author of Dare Me and The Fever, "The perfect kind of summer read: Nail-bitingly addictive, equal parts funny and twisted, and full of 'I never saw THAT coming' moments." -- Glamour, " ... billed by many as the ultimate fix for those suffering Gone Girl withdrawals, but we think the twisted storyline and deeply layered narrator, Ani, are in a class all their own."-- goop.com, "At turns funny, shocking, violent and heart-rending, Luckiest Girl Alive hooks its reader and doesn't let go. Jessica Knoll's twisted, twisting debut beautifully explores reinvention, retribution and redemption--and all the rawness in between." --Miranda Beverly-Whittemore, New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet, "Ani is many things,but true betches will definitely find her relatable....if you want a good reason to start a book club or just want an answer to the "what have you read lately?" question douchebags ask you on a first date, this is your read. Also, the book is being turned into a movie that Reese Witherspoon is making a' laGone Girl so you too can be one of those annoying people who talks about how the book was 'sooo much better' than the movie. Seriously. Just read it." --The Betches, "The perfect kind of summer read: Nail-bitingly addictive, equal parts funny and twisted, and full of 'I never saw THAT coming' moments." - Glamour, "This Summer's 'GoneGirl.'

Equal parts Prep , Gone Girl , and The Devil Wears Prada , Knoll's debutnovel...actually, should I just stop there?

It instantly elevates Luckiest Girl . . . and that momentum keeps going until its final pages."-- EW, "[Readers] probably won't leave Luckiest Girl Ali ve wishing they had a friend just like TifAni, but . . . if they liked Gone Girl , they'll be thrilled to see another woman who's allowed to be smart and mean, vulnerable and detestable." -Time.com, "Knoll introduces you to your new best frenemy, and you're going to love it. . . .
