Luckiest Girl Alive

DEBUT Ani FaNelli is the stereotypical New York woman: skinny, fashionable, and downright bitchy. A cross between Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw and Gone Girl’s Amy Dunne, Ani works as a sex columnist for a popular women's magazine and is engaged to Luke, a gorgeous guy with a trust fund to boot. Throughout her adult life Ani has crafted a new persona for herself, manipulating her appearance, personality, and even her name in order to climb the social ladder to reach an idealized notion of success and stability. Despite her elitism and outward appearance, she is secretly living a lie. “Luckiest Girl Alive” as a title is tongue-in-cheek, as it turns out that Ani has a dark past, full of its share of tragedy. As the details of Ani’s adolescence unfold, the disturbing truths behind her narcissism and life choices become clear.
