Making Friends with Alice Dyson by Poppy Nwosu
4.0
Making Friends with Alice Dyson is a beautiful, witty YA contemporary romance novel. The story follows Alice Dyson, a studious overthinker, in her last year of high school, and the stress of her life and changing social circle.
I can't believe how much I enjoyed this book! I won Making Friends with Alice Dyson and Taking Down Evelyn Tait in a Twitter giveaway by Poppy Nwosu. At first, I wondered if I would find this book a little too young for me, but I'm always happy to give any book a try as long as the first page can grip me.
"Even before I reach the gate, it's obvious something is different."
Instantly, I was intrigued by the first sentence and Alice's confused voice as she wonders why the students at school are talking about her. It was actually Alice's voice that kept me reading; I found myself drawn to her constant waves of thoughts and worries--it reminded me of myself. I especially found how she interacted with her peers to be relatable and I experienced nostalgia from when I was in high school. Overall, Making Friends with Alice Dyson was a light, fun and enjoyable read.
