Luckiest Girl Alive

didn't know what the book was about before I started reading but all I knew were a bunch of people online saying “don't read the book/watch the movie without knowing what it's about because it's very upsetting and triggering” and the way this book is planned is that you should NOT know what it's about before watching/reading it. I can't explain why without spoiling it. I would say to only read/ watch it if you can handle dark topics and disturbing crimes, if you can't then don't read it

The review quoted on the cover promised me the likes of Gillian Flynn, but the book did not deliver. This is the absolute definition of “chick lit.” It reads just like a young-adult high school drama (fitting, as the plot revolves completely around unsettled high school drama), thinly veiled with some easy literary references and current adult pop-culture notes. The characters were flat and on the whole un-likeable, most of all the narrator. I did get some enjoyment from the overly dramatic, mostly predictable plot - indulging my inner adolescent. But that is not enough to redeem the book or for me to recommend to anyone else.
