Alice in Charge by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

3.0

I think this is my first time reading about Alice in high school. Felt the book was missing a lot of Alice's early quirks and spunk. Sort of dry? Liked to see where the characters were presently, but at the same time surprised by the new friend Gwen and calling Elizabeth Liz all of a sudden. Hoping this is just a fluke in the series, and some of the others will redeem it. I know it's hard to keep up with a character for so long, especially as she grows up. But Alice seemed pretty one-dimensional here, even if I could relate to her stresses.
