Melody Murray's Books

2.5 stars. I'm committed to this series but I'm starting to hope that it finishes when Alice graduates. Naylor covers a lot of ground but there are so many Big Issues that it's hard to see Alice's life in and among them. And yes, I'm happy to see that Naylor isn't afraid to tackle the issues, but having this many crammed into one book is about 3 too many. It's teetering on the edge of didactic, the dialogue is stilted and intermittently unrealistic- but it's still Alice, so I'm stuck reading it. The best part of this book was the totally believable comedy of errors surrounding Alice's college visit.If you haven't read any of the series, this is not the place to start.
