- Synopsis
- In her third book, Alice is facing grade 12 with several changes in her life. Her boyfriend is spending the year in Scotland and then wants to go to a college far away. Her best friend is in a pre-vet intensive program. And to top it all off, her mother has gone to prison for protesting at a mining facility. Her dad is forced to get a job, his first, and so is Alice. She waitresses, leads hikes, and helps out at Betty Lou's yarn shop. By the end of the book, she is still working, still trying to figure out boys, and has finished the play she is writing. Chapters alternate between the teen's diary entries and scenes from her screenplay in progress. Alice is an individual who will keep readers laughing. The dichotomy between what she describes and what readers are sure is happening will lead to smiles, and her experiences will ring true to many teenage girls. Her hippie parents and super-smart brother lend a few laughs. The book will be a hit with fans of the series and with readers who like romantic comedies.
