“Sarah McElwain brings the bad old East Village of the nineties totally alive again – sights, sounds, culture, and more than that, its very soul. Filtered through the eyes of a teenage girl growing up there, in a story that is wry and bittersweet.”


Jonathan Stone, author of Moving Day and The Prison Minyan

“Before the dark side of the Internet and TikTok, there were the false promises of TV and the tabloids. Part love affair, part loss of innocence, part plight of a teenage girl immersed in survival, BORN LUCKY invites the reader into the tragic, naive truth about how popular culture devours teenage girl.”


~ Susannah Marren, author of Maribelle's Shadow
