Welcome to Litsy!

Lucky Girl is an unflinching exploration of beauty, self-worth, and sexual assault, from the author of the acclaimed Tease. Rosie is a beautiful girl�and it�s always been enough. Boys crush on her, men stare at her, girls (begrudgingly) admire her. She�s lucky and she knows it. But it�s the start of a new school year and she begins to realize that she wants to be more. Namely, she�s determined to be better to her best friend, Maddie, who�s just back from a summer program abroad having totally blossomed into her own looks. Rosie isn�t thrilled when Maddie connects with a football player who Rosie was hooking up with�but if it makes her friend happy, she�s prepared to get over it. Plus, someone even more interesting has moved to town: Alex, who became semifamous after he stopped a classmate from carrying out a shooting rampage at his old high school. Rosie is drawn to Alex in a way she�s never experienced before�and she is surprised to discover that, unlike every other guy, he seems to see more to her than her beauty. Then at a party one night, in the midst of a devastating storm, something happens that tears apart Rosie�s life and sets her on a journey of self-discovery that forces her to face uncomfortable truths about reputation, identity, and what it means to be a true friend.
