Alice, I Think | Susan Juby

"I grew up in one of those loving families that fails to prepare a person for real life..."A few weeks into first grade Alice's parents took her out of school and have taught her at home ever since. Now she's about to enter high school, with the stated goal of boosting the self-esteem of her counselor, Death Lord Bob. Bob is happy now. But what about Alice? Will she be able to interact with people her own age who are not home-based learners? Will she be able to survive some sort of boy-girl interaction? Or is this best left until after high school? Until middle age? What about a unique and innovative career path? A new look? (This must, like career choice, reflect uniqueness.)Alice, I Think is the story of a teenager attempting to survive her parents, her hometown, and her reentry into society. Told through keenly observant, satirical journal entries, Susan Juby's first novel is wise, witty, and utterly original.

"I grew up in one of those loving families that fail to prepare a person for real life." Alice is a nerdy homeschooled kid living in a small town. On a whim, she decides to go back to "regular" school, plus a few other life goals. Alice's story is laugh out loud, a dry & dark funny. The book really captures an authentic 15-year-old voice. It's Juby's debut so not as polished as later stuff but still wonderful. Juby writes the best lovable weirdos.

CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian A fav quote: "All three of us are going to some hair stylist recommended by dad's gay friend Finn. I have concerns about Finn's style suggestions because the only fashionable thing about him is his homosexuality." 4y
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian Another: "This may be a good time to take to my bed with depression. Dad does that frequently, and so do a lot of the women in the books I read. It sounds like a good way to handle problems. Sort of like lying down in the middle of the road and refusing to move. Freeing." 4y

I read this #YA book in high school and LOVED it. Like, milk coming out my nose laughing loved it. I recently got a copy at a used book store and hope it lives up to my memories. It's very Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging which I also read in high school and loved. But this one is Canadian!
