The first 70% of the book was just boring. It was so hard to get through and just cringy at parts.
The last 30% was actually decent which is what kicked it from a half star to a one and a half.
It should not be called "a modern retelling of Alice In Wonderland"
There is nothing Alice In Wonderland about this. The main characters name is Alice (she goes by Ali for the entire book though), her best friend is named Kat, and there is a white rabbit cloud. Those are stretches to be paralleled to Alice In Wonderland.
Would have been better without trying to shove that into a story that clearly didn't want it. It feels like the author came up with the title in the planning stages and refused to change it even when the story evolved completely separate from it.

Ok this book is not going to be for everyone, but I’m freaking obsessed I love these books. It’s like my guilty pleasure. 
First this has two of my favorite things Alice in wonderland(losely, but still) and zombies.
Second it has action, the romance is amazing and it has great friendship and family. Alice and Kat and basically everyone is so funny.
Also cole is my ideal man tbh.
Honestly I want everyone to read this, but I know it’s not for everyone.


Reread I didn’t enjoy this as much as I usually do but it’s probably because of school and there’s a lot going on in my life. It was still really enjoyable and I was just happy to see all these characters again. It’s so funny because when I was younger I thought this was like on the spicier side and now it’s like literally nothing and I just find that funny.
