i read this book mostly because i remember LOVING this series as a kid and i wanted to read it now that im older just for old times sake, and i have to say i really liked it! it was really interesting now, as an adult, to read about alice coming into her own after moving and starting a new school and with all the ups and downs that comes with, and also how she learns what it means to not judge a book by its cover and how someones outward appearance does not in any way tell you the kind of person they are.
