On this Complicated Conversation we are thrilled to have Jessica Knoll with us! Jessica is the New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Girl Alive and The Favorite Sister. She adapted Luckiest Girl Alive for the screen and executive produced the movie starring Mila Kunis, out now on Netflix.We chat with Jessica about how she fought to write this screenplay and what she learned from the experience; the ways in which her subconscious informed the many plot points in the novel; female rage and how she’s moved from “sloppy” anger to understanding what’s really underneath the emotion; why Jessica decided to draw from her real life experiences post-publication of the book to reimagine a new ending for the movie; Ani’s journey to living a more authentic life; why you should write “with the door closed”; and how reading helped Jessica find her voice.This interview contains spoilers, so if you haven't watched the movie yet , HURRY UP. And come back when you're done.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
