I think every girl there reached for a tissue.
I saw Keeno press two fingers into the corners of his eyes to hold back tears. From somewhere a few rows forward came a deep, choking sob, as though someone were holding back as long as possible before another sob could escape.
I was surprised to see that it was Brian Brewster, his head in his hands. Patrick sat back down, and we leaned against each other.
I squeezed his hand. His fingers squeezed back. I was glad he was here. Grateful he had come. Sad that he had to fly back to Wisconsin that same afternoon. But most of all I was angry at God. I was furious. Patrick had to go back to the airport, but I went to the cemetery with the others. Slowly, almost without sound, the coffin was lowered into the ground, the bands that held it slipped away.
I hugged them both before we left and could feel her tears against my cheek. I just wanted to go home and sleep. This was a chance for the adults to talk.
I lay down on my bed and fell asleep. When I woke, I felt really good and rested for a minute or two until I remembered, and then I just wanted to stand at the window and scream at the sky.
He started helping me pack up an order for a school. No one suggested a movie, a restaurant, a card game, bowling. We were drained. I was upset that neither Liz nor Pamela nor Gwen offered to have a sleepover where we could at least be together and talk about not talking.
Alice is Alice's mother had died from cancer early in her life and Alice did not really have too many memories of her. Alice is also dating a boy named Patrick who was a year above her and is attending summer classes in Chicago.
Alice lives in Maryland Alice's cousin who lives in Chicago gets married in the book and Alice is looking forward to meeting up with her boyfriend Patrick. She wants to have sex with him but they just hook up much to Alice's disappointment.
At the very end of the book one of the groups best friends Mark gets into a car accident and dies. Everyone is very upset and cannot understand why one of their friends could be killed so easily. He had been rear ended by a truck and smashed into the front of an SUV while waiting to turn left. I think this book teaches teens a lot about life and anything can happen at anytime like Mark's death.
Again I would not recommend this for school reading but for a casual book to read. This was the book I chose for my banned book. Aug 29, Samantha Tai rated it liked it. This is the 21st book in the Alice series. It's been a while since I've read any of the books in the series and the last book I think came out in June so I wanted to catch up and finish the series. I often don't read the inside jacket of the cover of a book because sometimes it gives too much of the story away.
This is one of the times I wish I hadn't read the blurb. Something big and bad was going to happen and I wish I hadn't known this. I was expecting it the entire book, I had an idea of w This is the 21st book in the Alice series. I was expecting it the entire book, I had an idea of what it might be and I had to wait until the end to find out. If I hadn't read the blurb, I would have been more surprised. It's the summer before her senior year of college. Alice is going to be a bridesmaid in her cousin Carol's wedding.
While in Chicago, she gets to visit Patrick who is taking summer classes at the University of Chicago. Alice doesn't know what to expect from her overnight stay with Patrick-will they have sex? Her stay is too short and before she knows it she's back home in Silver Spring, VA trying to find ways to spend the rest of her summer. I liked how the book ended and I'm looking forward to reading Alice in Charge, which takes place during the first part of Alice's senior year. I'm interested in seeing what happens next.
Due to some mature subject matter pre-marital sex , I'd recommend this to older readers. I do think Phyllis Reynolds Naylor deals with these subjects in a realistic manner. Girls who have grown up with Alice will anticipate reading the rest of the series. Shelves: read Phylis Reynolds Naylor has been writing about Alice since when I was in junior high and I have been keeping up with her ever since.
Alice has come a long way since 5th grade; in Intensely Alice 24th edition , we see her during the summer between her junior and senior years of high school. In a busy summer, she is a bridesmaid in her cousin's wedding complete with bachelorette party. She visits her boyfriend at his new university. The whole gang volunteers at a homeless feeding kitchen. H Phylis Reynolds Naylor has been writing about Alice since when I was in junior high and I have been keeping up with her ever since.
Her brother asks her to house-sit for a week with her friends. She continues her summer job and looks forward to being an editor of the school newspaper in the fall. A tragedy ends her summer and causes her to contemplate questions of God and faith. I like following Alice. This edition felt, even with the tragedy, felt a little sparse for material maybe somewhat like how summers feel for teens.
While some events were given in too much detail trip to visit Patrick and some of the interactions with friends , I would have liked more detail on the tragic events at the end and how Alice learned to deal with them. The idea of "the problem of suffering" was glossed over with no real depth the religious characters all sounded silly.
Overall a fun read. Jun 11, Stephanie rated it it was ok Shelves: ya-read , read I think I started reading the Alice books about ten years ago and I've really enjoyed them I think my favorite is Alice In-Between, where they go to Chicago and I even got my sister to read them she likes Alice in Lace due to the abundance of Patrick and Alice. I was younger than Alice but now am quite bit older it's the summer before her senior year in high school in this book.
So I was very excited to read the next installment but this one unfortunately left me feeling I don't thin I think I started reading the Alice books about ten years ago and I've really enjoyed them I think my favorite is Alice In-Between, where they go to Chicago and I even got my sister to read them she likes Alice in Lace due to the abundance of Patrick and Alice.
I don't think that's a word but that's how I felt. It wasn't a difficult read and I did want to know what was going on for Alice but there was nothing exactly exciting. First is Carol's wedding and Alice getting to be with Patrick. Then there is the summer hanging out with Liz, Pamela, and Gwen.
And in the end, one of her friends dies. This was sad but it didn't have that much of an impact on me. Overall: I would call this just average and I may have lifted the grade a bit higher than I really felt due to my fondness for the characters.
I will probably still continue to read the Alice books but I really hope they improve. May 12, Samantha rated it liked it Shelves: banned-books , grief , teen , sex , volunteering. It's the summer after junior year and Alice is contemplating taking things to the next level with Patrick. When she travels to Chicago for her cousin Carol's wedding she makes arrangements to stay with Patrick in the dorms and prepares for what could be their first night together.
While they do end up exploring one another in a sexual way, they do not take the full on plunge into a sexual relationship. Meanwhile, during a week spent volunteering with her friends in a soup kitchen Alice and the ot It's the summer after junior year and Alice is contemplating taking things to the next level with Patrick.
Meanwhile, during a week spent volunteering with her friends in a soup kitchen Alice and the other teens discuss religion. The views represented are wide-ranging and the questions that are posed make for thoughtful debate and good topics for mulling over on the back burner. A tragic loss of one of Alice's dear friends catches the group by surprise and they carefully work through the stages of grieving as they prepare to start school as seniors.
This book in the series has a lot going on. The first third of the book is dominated by Alice's thoughts regarding sex with Patrick. Near the middle of the book, the focus moves to religion with the last section of the story challenging everyone's beliefs as they struggle to cope with the death of a friend.
Recommended for teen girls grades 9 and up. Jul 21, Celine Parker rated it really liked it. It's the summer before senior year, and Alice and her friends are ready to have fun. Little do they know how much their lives are about to change. Alice attends her cousin's wedding in Chicago and gets to see her boyfriend Patrick while visiting. Unfortunately, toward the end of summer, a tragedy occurs that affects Alice and her friends in more ways than they can imagine.
As per usual, this book is full of fun times and little events up until the very end of the book, when the tragedy happens. I It's the summer before senior year, and Alice and her friends are ready to have fun. Personally, I thought that was a bit much, but I do think that most people go through times when they wonder about the role of God and religion.
I know I've thought about it many times. Anyways, I think this is a great yet little-known series that I wish more people would read. Although this book doesn't leave you dying to read what happens next, I'm looking foreward to the last few books in the series.
Feb 28, Kathryn rated it liked it Shelves: young-adult. November re-read. I remember reading this when it was released, and knowing from the synopsis that a major character was gong to die. Once the story gets going, and a supporting character who has always been in the background suddenly starts to develop as a character, you know who won't make it.
That being said, I still teared up on my re-read. The religious discussions at the soup kitchen feel out of character and tacked on. I guess it's supposed to be a lead up to the character death, but November re-read. I guess it's supposed to be a lead up to the character death, but it just feels odd and drawn out - it didn't need to take up the two or three chapters it did.
Alice's high school years aren't as memorable as her middle school years, but I still enjoy the visits with the McKinley's on each re-read. Alice has a hard time at first growing up in an all-male household, but her father and her brother, Lester, prove to be honest and open about almost everything Alice talks about. Alice has very little memory of her mother, often confusing her with her aunt, and seems to bear a striking physical resemblance to her , especially her strawberry-blond hair.
Other characters include Alice's three best friends, Pamela , Elizabeth and Gwen , her first serious boyfriend, Patrick , her next boyfriend, Sam , her prudish Aunt Sally who frequently provides a little comic relief , Lester's many girlfriends , and her seventh grade Language Arts teacher, Miss Summers , whom she tries to get her father to marry with eventual success.
The Alice series broaches many topics, including relationships, dating, sex, friendship, life problems, families, God, and understanding.
