The most appropriate word I can think of to describe the main character, who narrates LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE, is "bitch." At least I thought so at first and beyond the 50-page mark, when I usually give up on a book that hasn't grabbed me by then. I even checked others' reviews of the book at this point to see if they agreed with me that reading about a bitch gets tiresome. And most did. But I kept reading anyway because it is a movie now on Netflix. And I'm so glad I did.

It seems that Ani (as in TifAni) has an attitude problem. She doesn't seem to like anyone, including her fiancé. But he is her achievement, with a good name and lots of money. You may be tempted, as I was, to quit reading a book that seems to be about Ani's incessant bitchiness. But don't.

I didn't get it. Ani DOES have an attitude problem, but why? How did she come to be that way? She has achieved everything she wanted, so what's the problem? I came to understand, so get through the description of what it seems she turned into.

LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE is an excellent book. It's too bad, then, that I can rate it only three stars. The beginning, the look at the bitch that Ani has turned into, goes on and on for too long. A lot of it should have been edited out because it turns off too many readers. All they will ever know of this book is that Ani is a bitch.
