“Moving on doesn’t mean you don’t talk about it. Or hurt about it. It’s always going to hurt,” I feel as though Luckiest Girl Alive is Gone Girl's less impressive, but just as dark sister. Ani's character I felt was a tad forced at some points- I mean who actually walks around literally hating every woman she comes across. I could see the method behind Amy Dunne's (Gone Girl) character, but Ani felt forced by the author. I know she's supposed to be a "unlikeable, unreliable" narrator, but she just overall was not agood person. However, the saving grace to this one was the unexpected events that occurred. I knew Ani was supposed to be this woman who had a horrible public humiliation in her past, but I never saw it coming until the moment(s) it actually happens. Bravo, Jessica Knoll! I was thoroughly floored at it and was almost upset by it. I mean, damn! Was it the best or one of my favorites from this year? Nah. But did I enjoy it? Yes. Will I recommend it? Sure- to anyone desperate enough for a Gillian Flynn read-alike. I imagine I'd read any of Knoll's future publications if it were like this one.
