A fun and quick read, though the main character’s monologues sometimes felt a bit much. Also I didn’t think anyone who was more than two dimensional was likable. And every major character was white, I don’t understand readers who are is saying this book is diverse.

Like many others, I found the beginning incredibly boring. I guessed the ending early enough, and although there were red herrings, it didn't really feel like they got me. (And I usually get 'got' by everything lol). It kind of felt like I was reading just to finish it at one point (to get my money's worth). Although I can understand why others may like this book (if they didn't expect the turns, etc), it just wasn't for me. I didn't find the characters loveable or honestly that friendly. Alice's friends just felt like plot devices/reasons to write off her boyfriend at the time. The neighborhood people were purposely annoying and clique-y and the 'you can't sit with us' drama was annoying.
