review 1: Imagine a crime (like Alice's slutty behavior at party and Brandon's death) where the police published the accounts of each involved party, minus the accused of course. Oh and the police were so busy that they asked a 'journalist' from the Enquirer to write everything up. That's how this reads. As a Tabloid's account of each small town teenage gossip of events that only remotely relate to each individual. review 2: "Everyone" knows that Alice Franklin is a slut. Rumors fly through Healy High about Alice and what she supposedly does. When star quarterback Brandon Fitzsimmons dies in a car crash while texting her, even more rumors fly and Alice is ostracized by everyone, including her best friend. This book is told in alternating chapters by four teenagers each s... moreharing their perspective on what is happening. A quick, thoughtful read for mature teens. less
