Regardless of format, Liang’s raw exposé of family dysfunction, performative posturing, unyielding pressures (“somehow we’re expected to just keep going”), will ring too true for many contemporary teens.
Hand this to students who never feel like what they do is enough, who just want to feel seen, and who long for that moment of fame and feeling perfect. Highly recommended.
Readers who have felt they never quite fit in, be it socially, culturally, or economically, will see their struggles reflected in Alice. However, they will also find an ending that doesn’t fully hit the mark.
