Totally Booked with Zibby Jessica Knoll, LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE: A Novel
Producer, screenwriter, and New York Times bestselling author Jessica Knoll joins Zibby to discuss her 2015 mystery novel Luckiest Girl Alive and its recent record-breaking Netflix film adaptation. Jessica describes her daring career jumps from Cosmopolitan writer to novelist to screenwriter, and shares what it was really like to adapt her book into a movie (guess how many people auditioned for young TifAni FaNelli!). She also describes how empowering, validating, and healing it was to reveal, in a deeply-moving essay, that her book was inspired by her own experience with sexual assault.
