Novel adaptation movies or series usually always have more pressure than the rest as the novels already set a high expectation for the readers who too are viewers. Netflix's new movie starring Mila Kunis is a book adaptation as well. 'Luckiest Girl Alive' was 2015's New York Times Bestselling mystery novel written by the author Jessica Knoll. It is also her debut work

The novel follows a young woman who has sought to reinvent herself in her adult life, following a series of horrifying events during her teenage years. However, we are yet to find out how the movie rolls out. In August 2015, it was announced Lionsgate had acquired film rights to 'Luckiest Girl Alive' by Jessica Knoll, with Reese Witherspoon set to produce under her Pacific Standard banner. In February 2021, it was announced Mila Kunis would star in the film, with Mike Barker set to direct the film, from a script by Knoll, with Netflix set to distribute, and Lionsgate and Reese Witherspoon no longer attached. What happened? It is a mystery just like this movie's genre!
