The teen cliques, peer pressure to be popular, to not question your peers and how they continued to kick a girl when she was down. But Alice was incredible. She may not have had much to say, but it was more than enough to get her message across. I really hope everyone can read this at one point, even as adults we can learn from how one rumour can lead to destroying a life.Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-32098382523034251612014-06-04T05:36:20.855+10:002014-06-04T05:36:20.855+10:00It was incredibly powerful wasn't it.

I think bullying is such a difficult subject to pull off so to see so many people adoring this book makes me think that it was really done well. This will probably be a heartbreaking read though so I think I'll need to brace myself before plunging into this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09282171979111640597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346215484089416831.post-16079540497854759912014-06-02T19:04:17.199+10:002014-06-02T19:04:17.199+10:00I read this and really enjoyed it too - it was so ...I read this and really enjoyed it too - it was so raw in its emotion and the different POV's added so much depth to Alice's story. It is so hard hitting I think because people can relate to the topic of bullying, and Alice's character in a way is inspiring in her strength and ability to live through it all.

The rumours that were slowly destroying Alice's life were horrific, but she's was incredibly brave and far tougher than I would have been.

It's such a serious and heartbreaking topic, and one that is so <i>real</i>, but I think I'm going to give it a try because you make it sound like such a worthwhile read, despite how it emotionally destroyed you. ;) Alice sounds like such a complex and relatable character, and I can't wait to experience her story for myself.

I'm just so scared to read this...I feel like it's going to be really heartbreaking for me too. Still, even with the heavy subject matter, from your review this feels like a powerful book...especially with today's times of mob mentality and bullying everywhere. Awesome review Kelly! I can really feel your emotion and how heartbreaking this book is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737769827976841506noreply@blogger.com
