Wonderland by Juno Dawson
4.0
This was my first Juno Dawson book, so I didn't know what to expect going into it, but I really enjoyed it. I was instantly absorbed in the story, and found the writing and story/mystery so compelling that I found it difficult to stop reading and read it in a few sittings
We follow Alice, a girl on the edge of the elite social circles at the esteemed boarding school she attends. When Bunny, a girl she barely knows, goes missing Alice finds herself tangled up in the world of old money and deep secrets that she's purposefully skirted for so long
This book was like a cross between Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Skins, Cruel Intentions, and Gossip Girl and I was so here for that combination. It made me feel like I was 16 again and watching teenagers take drugs in Skins, and being convinced that that is what sixth form would be like
I loved that Alice is pansexual, and that her sexuality was explored throughout the book. I thought this exploration of, and everyone's fixation on, sex was pretty reflective of teenage parties (at least the teenage parties you see in films)
TW: frequent mention of self harm and suicide, drug/alcohol abuse, mention of ED, attempted rape
*This book was sent to me by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
