The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu
5.0
ESSENTIAL READING for every teenager. Not even kidding, this book was so completely accurate, infuriating, and full of narcissistic teens I wanted to scream on multiple occasions and wish I could rip into a few of these kids as my former teenage self on the slim chance they would stop being such assholes and see what they were doing to a girl who didn't deserve it. Why? Why do teenagers (or people in general) act this way? How are some people such cowards that they'll go along with a rumor they know nothing about, or make up lies, or take something bad that happened to THEM and then lie and say it happened to someone else?
I gotta hand it to Mathieu, she portrayed that teen perspective to perfection, even with multiple POVs that normally irks me, this felt like a confessional booth of sorts, each one getting to tell their side of the st0ry exactly the way they saw it. So there really was no confusion about just how ridiculous and self-serving most of the drama was. I seriously couldn't put it down, read it in an afternoon and I will recommend it over and over again.
