The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu
2.0
Jennifer Mathieu set really high hopes for me after Moxie, which made The Truth About Alice even more disappointing. The ending especially ruined it for me. None of the characters suffer actual consequences for what they did, they just feel either really bad about themselves because they are bad people (Kelsie and Josh) or feel great about themselves for being nice to the bullied girl after being the one bullying her (Elaine). The debt about how much Alice could have been impacted is just unexplored and even in the end she is reduced to being someone's love interest, in a book about her.
Sure, the story explores the subject of slut-shaming, which is not nearly talked about enough, but it's one of the only things I liked about The Truth About Alice.
