Welcome to Litsy!

Rumors have a lot of power once they‘re generated and spread. Alice is slut-shamed at HS bc of rumors made up about her. The resolution was unusual but okay. “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the ‘truth‘” is called the truth-by-repetition (TBR) effect.

Similar to 13 Reasons Why, this is a quick YA read that packs a heavy punch.

Was expecting more from it

⭐Alice goes to a party where a rumor starts about her sleeping with two guys on the same night. At school, a bathroom stall is deemed as the slut stall where nasty comments about her are written. One of the guys that is rumored she slept with dies in a car accident and the teen that survived the accident says that Alice was texting him to have sex. Alice gets bullied and blamed for the death. Nothing in this book was resolved. The book just ended.

#CoverLovers - #AwesomeAutumnBooks #TheTruthAboutAlice | When HS QB, Brandon, dies in a crash, it was bc he was sexting Alice. Rumor has it Alice is a slut. It's written all over the girls' BR. After Brandon dies, the rumors spiral out of control. Students tell all they "know" about Alice, revealing their own secrets and motivations and painting a raw look at teen life. What is the truth about Alice? There is only one person to ask: Alice. #TBR

This book reminded me of a crossover of Speak & 13 Reasons Why. It's one of those stories that had a spiraling affect of the consequences of falling victim to vicious rumors. People always want to believe the worst of someone else in order to cover their own secrets. The only one who knew the truth about Alice was Alice but who would want to believe her when the rumors made it easier for others to cope with their own dark truth. #24in48

2 hrs and 40 min before the #24in48 begins. I'm going to really try and stick to this TBR pile. I also have a couple of kindle books to read in bed. I am a bit tired so I need caffeine and sweets!! @24in48

This was an amazing book! Especially since you uncover different things from the four different characters telling their parts of the story until you get to read Alice‘s side in the last chapter. This book is one of the best I‘ve read, so I gave it 4.5 stars.

The Truth About Alice, by Jennifer Mathieu, was one of those books that I couldn't put down. And don't you just love that cover? #WhatToRead #booklover #contemporary #youngadult

I'm assuming this is #SetInASmallTown since everyone seemed to know everyone else's business, which is definitely a trait of small-town life. #PhotoADayNov16

This was a really quick read, and one with a powerful message. Some of the plot twists were a little obvious and I felt like the author tried a little too hard to sound like a teenager in parts.

Ho adorato questo romanzo *.* tratta temi molto attuali intrigando il lettore e facendolo riflettere. Uma lettura che dovrebbe essere d'obbligo nelle scuole per capire il devastante effetto che il bullismo può avere su una persona... consigliatissimo!

"This debut novel from Jennifer Mathieu is completely mind-blowing. It‘s a relentless but honest look into small town and particularly high school dynamics." Reviewed by Thalia http://bit.ly/2bj7IlP

Starting my second book in two days 😎
