The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu
3.0
omg so much drama lol
I don’t really know how to review this bc it’s so short and not very much happens
But I’ll try
*pirate voice* THERE BE SPOILERS AHEAD
but if this isn’t the first of my reviews you’ve read you should know that by now.
So basically, the premise of this book is that this girl, Alice, slept with two boys on the same night (insert shocked Victorian here) ...and then one of them died.
Now, Alice, who used to be one of the most popular girls, is an outcast. Hated. Despised. Blamed.
After all, didn’t you hear that Alice was texting Brandon just before he died? It MUST be her fault.
But you find out later that Alice DID’NT sleep with two boys, she DID’NT kill Brandon, and she DID’NT have an abortion.
So why does everyone blame her?
It’s quite simple. Because she was there. Because people were jealous. Because it’s easier to believe others.
Characters:
Alice: even though you only get one chapter from her POV, you end up liking her and feeling sorry for her.(even though she’d probably kill you if you said it)
Elaine: she’s like an onion, the more layers you unpeel, the more vulnerable she is.
Kurt: poor boy. He’s just sweet and smart. (and has a MASSIVE CRUSH on Alice)
Josh: just open up to yourself AND ADMIT U LIKED BRANDON eeeeesh
Kelsey: the ex best friend. Just trying to belong BY STABBING ALICE IN THE BACK
basically they’re all stereotypes
Anyway remember I said this would be hard to write a review about?
I think I managed ok
