I enjoyed this novel and found myself reading fast, to see what would happen with Alice. A great story following the highs and lows of a young woman struggling to accept her mother's suicide and the aftermath of this event. It takes place during her 16th year, as she is on the brink of 16.
In many ways, Alice is a typical teenager and we see her journey through grief and the discovery that people are more than what they appear. Pietrzyk develops her characters in many ways and as you journey with Alice, those layers come off and we discover, as Alice does, all the complexities that make up life.
Pietrzyk is a thoughtful author and I think you will enjoy the book and identify deeply with Alice and her family, especially if you grew up in rural America during the 1970s.
