The Truth about Alice by Jennifer Mathieu
2.0
2 stars
This book is okay, but I feel like it just could have been SO MUCH MORE. Like, it definitely ended on an anti-climactic note. I get that Alice's perspective was kept out of it mostly on purpose, but this story would just be so much more powerful if I'd actually known what she was feeling throughout it all. And what the truth was, and why people would actually believe all the bullshit. Instead all I got was terrible people behaving terribly with some thin reasoning behind it and characters that didn't feel fully fleshed out.
Given the immense praise this book got when it came out, I just expected more.
