This collection of holiday stories is all over the place. You start with a quaint story of reunited love. Carson Vance and Julie Long have dated on and off for years. Every time he comes home in fact, but not this time. After a decade its time to grow up and move on.
The second story is about first love at eighteen and twenty. While the story was okay, it felt more like a young adult story then an adult one. The final story in this compilation is a historical one. It’s a typical story of two friends finding love and denying it at the same time. There is no string tying all these stories together and for this reader it takes some of the fun out of the reading.

This is what you get when you turn a literary classic into a one word page board book. Its cute & to the point and the hand crafted felt graphics are simply charming.

This erotic novel was apparently “critically acclaimed”, but for the life of me I cannot figure out why. We start out with a young girl who is determined to loose her virginity. While on a family trip to a tropical location she spies this older Rastafarian man screwing another woman. From then on out all our heroine wants is this man. He follows her back to Michigan with his girlfriend and proceeds to give her an erotic education. The funny thing about this book is that no matter how much I didn’t like it, or how disturbing I found it, I had to keep going back for more. I had to see if this girl ever recovered from her death spiral. Most erotic novels have a handsome experienced man who cares or at least shows affection for the heroine. The title takes the opposite view of an impressionable young woman falling prey to a man. It’s almost like reading a novel where the male character discovers the pit falls of drugs and never recovers.

This Alice is not meant for kids. This is an adult graphic novel similar to the Marvel Fable series. That being said, I quite enjoyed this take.

Teen beauty queens. A Lost-like island. Mysteries and dangers. No access to email. And the spirit of fierce, feral competition that lives underground in girls, a savage brutality that can only be revealed by a journey into the heart of non-exfoliated darkness. Oh, the horror, the horror! Only funnier. With evening gowns. And a body count.
