Just started the book, I had a few doubts about the book at the beginning, I am not really accustomed to real life experiences and all, therefore it was a new thing to 'dive into'.
The entire book is Alice's diary, and her entirely fluctuating emotions. The first few short entries into her Diary, starting from September are quite intense, they throw you into a teenage girls life as swiftly as being one yourself. Alice is insecure, and very unhappy that a boy stood her up after asking her on a date, a boy that she was insanely in love with. She feels quite empty and hurt, and she needs to act blasé about everything that happened. The author, Beatrice Sparks, writes in the perfect way for the targeted audience: teenagers. Alice has a quite insane life and she cannot keep up with what is happening, until her dad gets a new job as Dean of Political Sciences in a different university. She plans on doing what every teenage girl wants to do when she has something worthwhile to start anew, she goes on a diet. Quite funny how exact the author catches every single teenage girl and her wishes to be a 'supermodelesque' beauty with perfect clothes, perfect skin and an amazing body. All to impress some guy that they hope will not break their heart like the previous one. The book seems interesting so far, nothing to say about it in the negative side, but the first few pages run quickly and so you get immersed in them quickly.
