The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu
First of all, the cover is intriguing, and makes you curious as to what is inside. Then you read the back and learn that, according to rumors, Alice is a slut. And a killer. Is it true? You have to read to find out.
Alice herself doesn't actually tell this story. The story is told by the most popular girl in school, and on again/off again girlfriend of the boy who was killed; the best friend of the boy who was killed; Alice's best friend; and the neighbor of the boy who was killed. Not likely to get the real story because of personal biases.
Allegedly, Alice slept with two boys in one night at a party. One of those boys was the quarterback on the football team, and a huge player. Alice gets a reputation for that. Then, a few weeks later, the quarterback is involved in a car accident. He was driving drunk, but his mother wrote that off as no big deal, there had to have been something else, so the boy's best friend tells the mom that Alice was sexting him, causing the crash. As if the previous rumors weren't bad enough, this turns Alice into a pariah in their small town.
An interesting read from the various perspectives. As you read, you find out what really happened, and see the madness started by rumors and lies.
