Making Friends with Alice Dyson by Poppy Nwosu
3.0
This was...in simple words, very sweet. I think this is a must-read for the younger YA audience and it really held some great values and principles within the story that I think would speak to a lot younger audience. I could appreciate the book, although my enjoyment factor was slightly tinged considering I am in my twenties.
First of all, the exploration of friendship and what this can mean for two people was beautiful. Alice and Teddy cancelled each other out perfectly and I could really see the blossoming of a solid friendship there. Where Teddy has this dangerous, bad boy reputation and Alice has this shy and book smart image, the coming together fit them both well.
I also liked the writing style a lot. I felt immersed inside Alice's head and I could really feel for her and relate when I look back at my teenage years.
I think this book holds some powerful messages and is a great coming of age novel.
I received this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
