Fifteen-year-old Alice Murphy is an independent-minded, offbeat young lady. Blunt, goofy and somewhat naïve, Alice longs to connect to the world around her. She has trouble fitting in at school and frequently says the wrong thing at the wrong time. Her English teacher, Mrs. Sinclair, labeled her as a B student on the first day of class and can’t see her any other way. She has a crush on lacrosse team star, Jim Flaherty, a boy who approaches life with a type of confidence and certainty that Alice has never known. While writing an article for the Glenwood High School News on the lacrosse team, Alice unwittingly stumbles upon a school scandal. Jim and several of his teammates arrive at one of their games drunk and now face disciplinary measures. Alice goes to Dean Rothschild’s office to schedule an appointment to interview him about the incident. While there, Alice and several members of the lacrosse team witness a confrontation between Dean Rothschild and his alcoholic wife. As an act of revenge, Jim organizes a production of Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”, a play about belligerent alcoholics. Jim plans to humiliate the dean by stylizing two of the main characters in the play to represent Dean Rothschild and his wife. Jim asks Alice and her best friend Craig, a theater aficionado, to become involved with the production. Guided by her sardonic wit and compassion, the bumbling Alice navigates her way through high school. Through the play, she comes to terms with her identity and learns to stand up for what she believes in.

There is a depth and sensitivity to her characterization not often found in Young Adult Fiction. I feel like this is a real girl and I feel vested in what happens to her. I enjoyed reading about Alice and how she develops as a person and struggles to find herself amidst the contradictions of high school life. Although there is a touch of romance it is not about Alice finding herself because a boy likes her. She becomes her own person. I love her observations.I feel touched by this story.

I'm glad I did: This book is just captivating and -- I'm at chapter 4 now -- scary, too. It has a built-in homage to Catcher In The Rye: it acknowledges it, but is by no means a copy. It is billed as a book for teens, but I think it is a great book for any "ager"! You won't be sorry if you read this book.

Although she is active on the school paper, there is rarely any controversies to report on.One day, she witnesses the behavior of the principal's alcoholic wife in the school office. Alice goes along when a plan is hatched to perform a play about belligerent alcoholics.In the end, Alice's conscience impacts on the way the school play turns out.Marie Kennedy captures the voice of a 15 year old really well. Naturally, the issues with an older sibling are part of the story.Thank you GoodReads for the book.
