A review by kailynpreston
I Kissed Alice by Anna Birch
4.0
I really liked this book. The illustrations really added to it as well.
My own issues around fan fiction are the only thing keeping me from rating it 5 stars. I’ve been taught over and over that fan fiction isn’t real writing and shouldn’t be appreciated the same, and even though I whole heartedly disagree with that concept, I still can’t remove that little ear worm from my brain. Something keeps telling me that fan fiction should be looked down upon, and even though I don’t want to, I can’t get it out of my head.
Other than that, I love the imperfectness of the characters. I love the portrayal of depression. I love the way this book ends.
