Former Cosmo editor writes Gone Girl-esque novel that’s already been optioned for a movie by Reese Witherspoon—and she’ll be here next Sunday with wine? Sign me up. Meet Jessica Knoll and hear about the Luckiest Girl Alive, which is already nominated for the Edgar Award™ for Best First Novel, this Sunday, April 10 @ 3:00pm at the Newport Beach Public Library, my new fave hang. A copy of the book (which I just downloaded but haven’t started reading yet) is included with your ticket.
The blog Lenny (Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner) just posted Knoll’s gut-wrenching essay about her own assault at age 15, which forms the basis for the novel’s central character.
