The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu
4.0
Beautiful and Powerful.
UPDATE:
*I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.*
This book blew me away. I know I’ve said that in the past, but really, this book blew me away. I am shocked that this is the first book by this author. It was amazing. It was heartbreaking. It was powerful.
It is told in four different point of views.
Each of them telling their side of the story and what they think of Alice.
Your heart will break for her.
I found myself predicting some things that were going to happen, but that actually didn’t bother me at all.
This story pulled and tugged at my heartstrings like no other.
Alice is one tough girl. My heart shattered into a million tiny little pieces for her.
I can easily say that The Truth About Alice will be on my list of favorite books of 2014.
Even though it is told in multiple point of views, it is not once confusing. Each character has their own voice. The writing is so well done.
The Truth About Alice has depth, it has layers, it has a message.
It shows us how one lie can be taken too far, how one lie can be blown out of proportion. It shows us how the person who the lie is about deals with the aftermath. It shows us how the person who told the lies deals with the guilt, if there is any at all. It shows us how one tiny lie can change a person, how it can destroy a person’s life.
The Truth About Alice tackles important and touchy subjects. It’s brilliant.
Through each of the character’s point of view we find out their reasons for doing what they have done. We discover things about them that no one else knows. We somehow understand their reasoning for what they did. Even though what they did is horrible, we understand the why. The characters are realistic.
The Truth About Alice describes high school and teenagers perfectly.
We don’t actually get inside of Alice’s head until the very last chapter and it’s very emotional. I felt her pain and anger.
You should grab this book when it comes out June 3. Everyone should read this book. It’s a quick read with a powerful punch.
