    About this ebook

    Winner of the Children's Choice Book Awards' Teen Choice Debut Author Award

    Everyone knows Alice slept with two guys at one party. When Healy High star quarterback, Brandon Fitzsimmons, dies in a car crash, it was because he was sexting with Alice. Ask anybody.

    Rumor has it Alice Franklin is a slut. It's written all over the "slut stall" in the girls' bathroom: "Alice had sex in exchange for math test answers" and "Alice got an abortion last semester." After Brandon dies, the rumors start to spiral out of control. In this remarkable debut novel, four Healy High students tell all they "know" about Alice--and in doing so reveal their own secrets and motivations, painting a raw look at the realities of teen life. But in this novel from Jennifer Mathieu, exactly what is the truth about Alice? In the end there's only one person to ask: Alice herself.

    This title has Common Core connections.

    • 3/5
      Pretty good book. Especially just how it jumps from person to person. I like how it describes Alice throughout and how at the very end it is her speaking rather then everyone else. I also love how they made Kurt a nerd, I think it makes you love him all the more! Great read to pass the time, but it doesn't exactly "reel" you in like some books do.
