Reviews"A stunning, engaging subversion of the Bundy myth--and the true-crime genre." --Kirkus (Starred Review), Best Fiction Books of the Year "Stunning... By focusing on the women affected by her Ted Bundy stand-in instead of the nuances of his criminal psychology, Knoll movingly reframes an American obsession without stripping it of its intrigue. The results are masterful." --Publisher's Weekly (Starred Review), Blistering and powerful, Bright Young Women is an almost unbearably vivid story of sisterhood and survival. With razor-sharp skill, Jessica Knoll deconstructs the myth of a criminal mastermind, revealing the women he seeks to destroy as the truly brilliant ones. --Flynn Berry, New York Times bestselling author of Northern Spy and Under the Harrow, "A stunning, engaging subversion of the Bundy myth--and the true-crime genre." --Kirkus (Starred Review), Praise for Luckiest Girl Alive ! "[A] huge summer read . . . one of those great stories that you can't put down!" --Reese Witherspoon, InStyle "The perfect page-turner to start your summer." -- People (Book of the Week) "Dark, twisty . . . razor-sharp writing . . . propulsive prose . . . [The] reveal is a real doozy--a legitimately shocking, completely unputdownable sequence that unfolds like a slow-motion horror film. It instantly elevates Luckiest Girl . . . and that momentum keeps going until its final pages." -- Entertainment Weekly "Loved Gone Girl ? We promise [ Luckiest Girl Alive is] just as addictive." -- Good Housekeeping "A pulse-pounding, jaw-dropping novel about how tragedy twists and shapes lives." -- InTouch (A-) "When Ani FaNelli wants something, she gets it: the job, the body, the man. What starts as a Mean Girls- seeming story line transforms into something so dark, so plot-twistingly intense that...well, actually, no spoilers here." -- Marie Claire "A knockout debut novel . . . completely enthralling . . . devilishly dark and fun." -- Publishers Weekly "[Ani FaNelli is] a cross between Sex and the City 's Carrie Bradshaw and Gone Girl 's Amy Dunne. . . . Knoll's debut truly delivers and will keep readers engaged until the end." -- Library Journal, "Jessica Knoll is a careful writer, and this, her third novel, is a perfect match for her cold dissection of social mores and her fierce rage at misogyny... Some may claim that the crime genre is rift with misogyny; those people have not read Jessica Knoll. She tears apart the restrictive world of women's roles and lays bare the purpose of such hobbles: to keep women from making a scene, to keep them from seeking justice, and most of all, to keep them from seeking their own lives." --Lit Hub (Most Anticipated Books of 2023)

SynopsisDon't miss this "breakneck thriller" examining "our culture's obsession with serial killers and true crime" ( Harper's Bazaar ) following two women on the pursuit of justice against all odds. "A fascinating look at true crime and tabloid culture that's as thoughtful as it is gripping" ( People ). A New York Times Notable Book of 2023 New York Times Editors' Choice Instant New York Times Bestseller A Goodreads Choice Award Finalist Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, The Washington Post , Harper's Bazaar , Kirkus Reviews , CrimeReads , Booklist , and more! An Edgar Award Finalist for Best Novel Masterfully blending elements of psychological suspense and true crime, Jessica Knoll--author of the bestselling novel Luckiest Girl Alive and the writer behind the Netflix adaption starring Mila Kunis--delivers a new and exhilarating thriller in Bright Young Women. The book opens on a Saturday night in 1978, hours before a soon-to-be-infamous murderer descends upon a Florida sorority house with deadly results. The lives of those who survive, including sorority president and key witness, Pamela Schumacher, are forever changed. Across the country, Tina Cannon is convinced her missing friend was targeted by the man papers refer to as the All-American Sex Killer--and that he's struck again. Determined to find justice, the two join forces as their search for answers leads to a final, shocking confrontation. Blisteringly paced, Bright Young Women is "Jessica Knoll at her best--an unflinching and evocative novel about the tabloid fascination with evil and the dynamic and brilliant women who have the real stories to tell" (Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me ); and "a compelling, almost hypnotic read and I loved it with a passion" (Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True ).
