The Truth About Alice
The Truth About Alice | Jennifer Mathieu
15 posts | 44 read | 43 to read
Winner of the Children's Choice Book Awards' Teen Choice Debut Author AwardEveryone 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.

Rumors have a lot of power once they‘re generated and spread. Alice is slut-shamed at HS bc of rumors made up about her. The resolution was unusual but okay. “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the ‘truth‘” is called the truth-by-repetition (TBR) effect.

slategreyskies Wow, I‘d never heard of that TBR before. I mean, I‘m familiar with having that done to me, but I didn‘t know there was a name for it. Thanks for that! ♥️ 7mo
Eggs @slategreyskies Glad you liked it☺️ I think we do it to ourselves, in our own ways - embellish or diminish memories or interpretations of events - until they become our ‘truths‘. 7mo

Similar to 13 Reasons Why, this is a quick YA read that packs a heavy punch.

⭐Alice goes to a party where a rumor starts about her sleeping with two guys on the same night. At school, a bathroom stall is deemed as the slut stall where nasty comments about her are written. One of the guys that is rumored she slept with dies in a car accident and the teen that survived the accident says that Alice was texting him to have sex. Alice gets bullied and blamed for the death. Nothing in this book was resolved. The book just ended.

This book reminded me of a crossover of Speak & 13 Reasons Why. It's one of those stories that had a spiraling affect of the consequences of falling victim to vicious rumors. People always want to believe the worst of someone else in order to cover their own secrets. The only one who knew the truth about Alice was Alice but who would want to believe her when the rumors made it easier for others to cope with their own dark truth. #24in48

2 hrs and 40 min before the #24in48 begins. I'm going to really try and stick to this TBR pile. I also have a couple of kindle books to read in bed. I am a bit tired so I need caffeine and sweets!! @24in48

This was an amazing book! Especially since you uncover different things from the four different characters telling their parts of the story until you get to read Alice‘s side in the last chapter. This book is one of the best I‘ve read, so I gave it 4.5 stars.

I'm assuming this is #SetInASmallTown since everyone seemed to know everyone else's business, which is definitely a trait of small-town life. #PhotoADayNov16

This was a really quick read, and one with a powerful message. Some of the plot twists were a little obvious and I felt like the author tried a little too hard to sound like a teenager in parts.

Ho adorato questo romanzo *.* tratta temi molto attuali intrigando il lettore e facendolo riflettere. Uma lettura che dovrebbe essere d'obbligo nelle scuole per capire il devastante effetto che il bullismo può avere su una persona... consigliatissimo!

"This debut novel from Jennifer Mathieu is completely mind-blowing. It‘s a relentless but honest look into small town and particularly high school dynamics." Reviewed by Thalia http://bit.ly/2bj7IlP
