A review by notsarahconnor
Alice by Heart by Steven Sater

challenging emotional sad slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

My favourite niche genre of book is  "kids who cope with trauma by escaping into fantasy realms via books" and Alice by Heart seemed like it would be a perfect fit for this genre. Sadly it wasn't. Confusing, clunky, and just altogether disappointing I had trouble understand what was happening while reading. Maybe musicals adapted from books just aren't meant to be turned back into books.
