Luckiest Girl Alive: A Novel by Jessica Knoll | Summary & Analysis

This is a Summary & Analysis of Luckiest Girl Alive. Jessica Knoll’s novel, presents the story of TifAni as she reflects upon the traumas of her high school experience while approaching her marriage to Luke Harrison. Those traumas center on a high school shooting occurring not long after the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City, including rape inflicted upon her. The novel moves between past and present easily, treating issues of inclusion and belonging, before finally presenting TifAni as achieving self-acceptance, extricating herself from a situation that would not have been hopeless but would have condemned her to a life of pretense and artificiality.
