IS THAT REALLY HOW IT JUST ENDS??
I need to know what happens now :/
This is the first book I've read that had more than two POVs, and honestly I really liked it. I liked that each character was so different.
I liked how real the book was.
I just don't like how abruptly the book ends.

I won this audiobook in a contest and decided to review it to thank the author!
Summary:
Everyone in Healy knows Alice Franklin. And everyone knows she slept with Brandon AND Tommy in the same night. If that wasn’t bad enough, she’s the cause of Brandon’s death. She caused Brandon to crash because of her crazy intense sexting. She’s the Healy High slut. It’s written across the bathroom stalls, it’s everywhere across town, and Alice Franklin is utterly alone. Until Kurt, the nerdiest guy in all of Healy shows up and begins to help her with math. Alice slowly warms up to him, and the biggest news in town now is that the slut and the nerd are together all the time. Just as things seem to be getting better, Alice’s ex best friend starts another rumor. One more horrible than everything else that’s going around. Can Alice stand the pain anymore? Is Kurt trustworthy? Is anything worth it?
Main Characters:
Alice: We don’t hear from Alice until the very last chapter, which usually doesn’t give one a good gauge of the character. However, the story was told so brilliantly from the four different points of view that I felt like I knew Alice even before she spoke. She was the typical-semi popular girl who you knew didn’t fit completely in. She was nicer to people, and tried to talk to everyone. Once the rumors started, she was isolated. Alice Franklin was a very broken person. You could sympathize with her easily, mostly because of her reactions to events and things said. Alice just wanted to be loved for who she is, same as anyone else.
Kurt: Kurt really was a nerd. An incredibly smart nerd, and one who appeared not to mind his solitude as much as many other nerdy characters in books. However, as you learn more about Kurt, you learn how lonely he is, and to a degree, how he masks this loneliness he can’t help but feel. Kurt is someone who gets invested in things, and he becomes invested in Alice, choosing to look at her for who she is, and getting to know her side of the story.
Elaine: The most popular girl in school. Of course, she is the first to begin ignoring Alice, and everyone else simply follows her lead. I found her rather annoying personally, and couldn’t find much depth to her, but she wasn’t incredibly present in the story. She acted like the stereotypical popular girl you hear about in high school. Mainly who is jealous of Alice who slept with her on-off boyfriend.
Kelsie: Alice’s ex-best friend. She moved from a different town, where she was the shy outcast who hardly ever talked to anyone. When she moved to Healy she decided to make that a chance to remake herself. She latched onto Alice after she and Alice hit it off in the beginning of freshman year, and eventually Kelsie met Elaine. Becoming popular meant more to her than a real friendship. Kelsie seems like a superficial character as first, but as the story progresses, we learn more about her past, and some things come to light that shaped her into the person she is now.
Josh: Brandon’s best friend who was in the car with him when he died. We don’t hear much from Josh either, but it’s obvious he really misses Brandon, and he had a real connection with him. Josh is a character that acts out of sadness, not out of malice. And Josh harbors a big secret, whether he realizes it or not.
Review: 5 stars.
I was surprised at how much I ended up loving this. Since my copy was an audiobook, I listened to it my car. It was a bit hard to get into at first, but once I got to about the middle of the book, I found myself invested in the characters and wanting to keep listening, even if I was done driving. I felt connected to the characters, and I was constantly wondering what was going to happen next. I was always trying to guess what would happen next, and eagerly awaiting the next chapter. I feel like this book had a good mix of suspense, romance, and psychological themes. It went a lot deeper into the mind than I thought it would when reading the back and hearing the first few chapters.

Terrible book with not a single original idea and terrible, inauthentic teen dialogue.

"I really can't handle talking about this for too long because it just hurts too much, but I want to say that there is one thing I’ve learned about people: they don’t get that mean and nasty overnight. It’s not human nature.
If you give people enough time, eventually they’ll do the most heartbreaking stuff in the world."
Don't get me wrong, this is a great book. But then, I had read/watch stories like this before so the message doesn't really struck me as hard as I want it to. Mostly, it just reminds me on how I felt after reading The Sky is Everywhere. I know that I should feel some palpable heartbreaking emotion that will wreck me for days, but it didn't come. The emotion was just lost because it didn't affect me that powerfully. I know, I must be getting numb but I tried really hard for the story to affect me as much because I really want to love this book.
But I didn't, sadly.
Aside for the emotional wreck of feels that only mildly showed itself, the multiple perspectives work and didn't work for me. Most of the time, though, I felt like it is a brilliant way to narrate the story. We are actually shown this bunch of people related to Alice's downfall and at first, you expected to hate them because they each (except for Kurt) contributed something nasty to the rumor mill. But then you get to know them and know their own stories, too. Elaine, Kelsey, Josh and Kurt each have some honest stories to tell. I like how they own up to their reputations or afraid to lose theirs. I like that they are both shallow and substantial and after a while, you sort of love/hate them for it. These are a bunch of stereotyped characters with personalities and depth. Their point of views are also really distinguishable and I never felt confuse on who's turn it is.
On the other hand, there were times that I also felt like the story digress, that the main issue about Alice is swept away in the sidelines. Sometimes, I just want some Alice perspective on what is happening. Something more about Alice even if Alice didn't really stand up much for herself, that she just let these people screw her over. I don't get why she didn't do something and I wanted to know what she feel. Perhaps it's too much? That there's nothing that can be done? Maybe, she just thought that nobody cares anymore -- especially her. But still, I think she's pretty strong because it will take some serious guts to go to school everyday after everything that happened.
Now, if you are expecting a story with a plot, you might also be disappointed. This book doesn't have a climax or whatnot. But seriously, I think that this book's purpose is not really about presenting you with the five plot elements. There's a lot of backstories from the multiple POVs revolving mainly around the same issue and through this, you can gradually see the whole truth and "why" these characters do these horrible things. In regards of that, the message is obvious, in a good way. But like I said, it was something I've known before and seen before. It was heart-warming but not really heart-wrenching. I wasn't emotionally detached but I wasn't a heartbroken mess either, which I actually hoped I would achieve for I got high expectations before reading this book.
The ending doesn't really resolved anything. I was bit unsatisfied about it. There's a lot of issues -- big and small -- involved in this book and none of them was concretely tied up by the end. But then again, the ending also felt realistic for its portrayal that not everything resolves as smoothly in real life. No easy solutions/happily ever afters. There's just a lot of possibilities with that ending.
In the end, I am sort of in-between in this one but frankly, for such a short book, I'm surprised it turned out this good.

Edit: After deciding to unhaul some books, I came across this book again and realized I honestly hated this book more than I wanted to admit when I first wrote my review. I have since lowered my rating to reflect my final opinion, but will leave my original review up.
2.5/5
I think I would have enjoyed this book more if we could have heard from Alice herself more than just the last chapter of the book.
I think all the characters were well written and I enjoyed their perspectives even when I hated a couple of them. I always applaud authors who can make me feel strongly about a character, even when its a negative emotion.
That being said, this book took me ages to finish and its a pretty short book. I think the reason for this is that for me, it lacked a push. I almost never felt the pressing need to read the next chapter right away. I often found myself skimming to the end of a chapter first before deciding to keep reading or put the book down again.
I think if we could have heard more from Alice it may have changed things a bit and made it more exciting. Or perhaps even let a chapter or two slip in from Brandon. We know his fate, but like with Alice, we only hear about him through the stories people tell us. It might have been interesting to have flashbacks in Brandon's narrative tossed in somewhere. I don't know, I just feel like the story lacked something. Or perhaps its just one of those books that couldn't grab me. Whatever it was kept me from really loving the book, so I rate it a solid 2.5/5. It was a decent read but I won't be going out of my way to praise it.

"And there are some things that are just unforgivable"
"It was like a million paper cuts on my heart"
"there is one thing I’ve learned about people: they don’t get that mean and nasty overnight. It’s not human nature"
This book was so simple and so brilliant at the same time. It's not by far an original story. Bunch of popular people to make up lies about a girl at school and she gains a certain reputation. This was such an easy read yet so impactful. Full of stereotypes this story showed how people make the choices they know are wrong but still make them anyway because it is the convenient way out of their situation. People are not inherently evil, they make choices and get accustomed to the feeling of guilt which after a while becomes numb so they continue to make similar choices further down the line. I don't think this is just aimed at young adult readers. I think everybody will find some truth about themselves embedded in those characters. Their thoughts represent thoughts we all think ourselves but will never say out laud

*1.5 stars
I think it was maybe my fault for picking up this book when it probably wasn't meant for my age. I bought this book back in the beginning of high school, and was really bored without access to many other books today, so I just read it.
The Good:
-The pacing is good and it's a really quick read
-I think the author tried to convey that slut shaming is bad and can ruin someone's life, even though it was handled kind of clumsily
The Bad:
-The social issues weren't handled the best in this book, especially for a younger audience. From abortion (which felt strangely pro-life even though a character had an abortion) to slut shaming to bullying to idk what else.
-Everyone felt like a stereotype, and everything felt super dramatic and blown way out of proportion. Maybe it's because I didn't live in a small town, but to me it felt like these things weren't likely to actually happen. The author also didn't really introduce anything new to the issues (above) she was talking about, and there really wasn't any nuance. Because of that, this entire book felt pointless.

After bad experiences earlier this year with some other dark, sex-related YA contemporaries, I was honestly a little scared when I picked up "The Truth About Alice". Other titles that had attempted something similar, particularly the April debut "Tease" (in which the main character left a very, very bad taste in my mouth, even after her "redemption"), left me feeling cold toward the subject matter - a girl is slut shamed for having sex, in this case sex with two boys at one party, a situation that is later used to blame her for one of the boy's deaths. In this short little gem of a novel, we follow four viewpoints - Alice's former best friend, the school mean girl, the dead boy's best friend, and the school weirdo nerd.
We're dropped into the story quickly and the initial facts are clear - Alice reportedly had sex with two boys at a classmate's house party, and somehow Alice was responsible when one of those boys drove off the road and crashed. The story is told from an outsider's perspective where nobody has the full story, forcing you into different heads to get more details from people who knew Alice in a variety of ways, but people who very clearly are not fully informed. As the story unfurls, and as we find more details out and revelations from characters, the story becomes very interesting, complex, and intense.
Except, like many books, I had some issues with it. The biggest issue was Alice herself.
I can understand the premise of this book, where a girl becomes a social pariah after teenage boys take advantage of a situation with her. We have Alice, a B-level popular girl, versus the boy who is the Golden God of their school. We all know who wins the he said, she said battle when the boy claims something that didn't actually happen.
In a YA world where darkness has been unfairly criticized as being, well, too dark for young impressionable minds, I have to give debut author Mathieu credit for taking this book where she did. It doesn't shy away from the sad realities of high school, full of lying, backstabbing, sex, drinking, and other vices that many parents pretend their children don't know, and especially don't actually participate in.
This is the type of story where there are unlikable characters around every corner, and while I did have one in particular that I hated (Alice's former best friend, who threw Alice under the bus when she realized her popularity might be threatened), I came to understand their motives. Except for Alice. She was the character we were supposed to really come to know through the eyes of others, but her actions just rang false, like they were actions solely for the sake of the story and not how a real person like how she was described would act. That's where the story threw me - I just didn't buy Alice herself.
All in all, would I recommend this? Yes. This is definitely a book you should buy and then share with some teenagers (if you're not one yourself) because it is a story that rings mostly true, and it's a story that can impart some life lessons. "The Truth About Alice" might not be the best story ever on the subject of slut shaming, but it's up there toward the top.

“There is one thing I've learned about people: they don't get that mean and nasty overnight. It's not human nature. But if you give people enough time, eventually they'll do the most heartbreaking stuff in the world.”
I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't exaggerate it enough I think. There are just too much feels for me towards this book. I just couldn't put this one down. I just couldn't, I was hooked. It kept me interested.
THE STORY
Alice's life was pretty normal, up until the incident that changed her life forever.
She used to be popular.
She used to be one of the girls, that everyone looked up to.
Now, all of that changed.
Alice Franklin is a slut!
That's what everyone believed.
Because Brandon Fitzsimmons told everyone that Alice slept with him and Tommy.
Everyone believed him.
Nobody questioned him.
They just believed him.
Alice got into an even deeper trouble when Brandon dies... And everyone blames her for it.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
The Truth about Alice is written in different POVs. You get to see Alice in the eyes of 4 different people, and finally towards the end, you meet Alice.
Elaine
Elaine was the first voice you will hear on this story. She was the popular girl. The one everyone wishes they could be. She's not exactly friends with Alice, but they weren't in bad terms either. But they did have a past, that Elaine wasn't able to forget.
I didn't hate Elaine really. There were some points in the story, that I feel sympathy for her. She wasn't the typical popular, mean girl. She wasn't stupid either, but she does have a high regard towards herself.
I find Elaine's voice, like all the others, really real. It felt very authentic to me. I feel that the author really did a good job making Elaine's character. I really enjoyed watching Alice through her eyes. She wasn't the perfect person, and that's what made me like her POV.
Kelsie
I hated this bitch. I hated her with passion. I even hated her than Brandon who started the fucking rumor. The reason why I hated her more, was because she was Alice's best friend. She should have been the one by her side when everyone else left her. But she, the stupid ingrate, decided she didn't want to be unpopular again, so she ditched Alice for the cool kids. To make matters worse, she spread a rumor that she knew was untrue.
The hard truth is I think I knew we weren't going to be friends anymore the day after Elaine's party when I read that text about her and Brandon and Tommy Cray. It sounds terrible and shallow and not at all like something the Kelsie Sanders I knew in Flint would have said, but I've spent too many years sitting alone in the cafeteria, and I just can't handle doing it again.
What a fucking loser!
Josh
I hated him too. He was Brandon's best friend, and possibly one of the biggest loser in the entire book world.
Kurt
Kurt was the nerdy guy who had a crush on Alice. And honestly, I wasn't exactly happy about him either. He could have done something, but he chose not to. Tsk tsk. Extremely disappointed.
Alice
We get to see Alice's POV on only one chapter. We see her through everyone else's eyes but we only get to really hear her thoughts once. But even seeing through other people, I still loved Alice.
She's gone through a lot of bullshit for something she didn't do. People judged her, but they never bothered asking if it was true. Of all the people in this book, she's the only one I really had respect for. No one, not even the adults, asked her why or if it is even true. No one bothered.
I felt sorry for Alice the entire time. I could only guess what it would have felt like for her. She was strong-willed. She didn't take bullshit from anyone. She confronted Kelsie, and I freakin' wished she smashed her face. But Alice, was still such a nice person, despite all of that. She cried. Yes, she did. But it was okay. She deserved to cry. But what she doesn't deserve, is the stupid prejudice everyone had of her.
Alice has just became one of my favorite heroines.

----------------------------
Writing: I loved it. I really liked how this book was written. I liked how we saw Alice through everyoneelse's eyes. We see how stupid and shallow sometimes people are. We only get a glimpse of what she has to say, but it didn't matter. I was able to connect to the story in every way. Simplicity is the key on why this story was successful, in my opinion. There were no complicated lines. There were no overly composed sentences (I'm taking about you Why We Broke Up. There were no complex plot and subplots. This was just the story of a girl, who was a victim of viscious rumors that spiralled out of control. That was it. No romance on the sideline. No other stupid add-ons that weren't necessary.
Plot: The plot was flawless. For me, it was prefect. I really liked how the story started, how it climaxed, and how it ended. It ended beautifully. Not only was all the character's secret revealed, but we realized that this whole fiasco made Alice into a better person. She wasn't the losing end here.
Characters: I loved each and every one of them. They were all made equally well.
Unpredictability: I predicted the ending, but other than that, it was all good.
Pacing: Perfect. Just the way I like it.
Enjoyability: I absolutely enjoyed it!
FINAL RAMBLINGS
I highly recommend these types of books to teenagers. These are the type of books that they should be reading, as it teaches us that our actions could affect someone else greatly even if we don't mean to. It teaches us to be sensitive, and to always give a benefit of the doubt.
All those kids, shunned Alice, just because she slept with two guys? I mean what the hell? I'm sure there are much worse stuff that has happened to other people. AM I RIGHT KELSIE? They don't have the right to slut-shame her, when I'm sure most of them do it too. Judging people without really knowing what went on is just terrible. It shouldn't be done to anybody.
I'm sure in every school, there is one Alice. Then there's also those who bully, spread rumors just for the fun of it. Then there's the people who just want to keep quiet, and avoid being picked on. Then there's those people who believe everything the cool people say, because they want to be cool too. But I'm sure, there are people like Kurt, who are true friends.
I wasn't able to write my review of this book when i finished it because my computer and internet crashed. I actually had more things to say, but now has left me.
I give this book an A+, and will have my highest recommendation.
If any of you guys have read this, please let me know about what you think of it, or if you could recommend me similar books like this.. Leave me a comment below.
