Knoll, an American writer and former Cosmopolitan editor who hails from Pennsylvania, published her first book, Luckiest Girl Alive, in May 2015. Ani's book, which spent four months on the New York Times Best Seller list, was about a teenage woman and sexual harassment survivor. Knoll began writing Ani's book by drew from stories she had heard from others, but she later revealed she was the perpetrator of a horrific gang gang rape. Knoll related in a 2016 essay that she became inebriated at a party and awakened three new guys sexually attacking her when she was just 15 years old. The author kept it private for many years, but she decided to tell the world that she did not know how to heal and aid other victims to feel less alone. Knoll is executive producing and directing the screenplay for the forthcoming Netflix sequel, which is scheduled to premiere on September 30.
