Synopsis

Wouldn’t it be great to go back in time to before Pam got pregnant, before Patrick left for the University of Chicago—before anyone was making any big decisions about sex or college or life in general? Wouldn’t it be great to get everyone together again, just once? But a funeral is not a happy reunion, and the events that cause it will change Alice and her friends forever. Full of life—the good, the bad, and the heartbreaking—Intensely Alice reminds readers just how much can change in an instant.

From Booklist:

This twenty-fourth title in the popular Alice series will grab readers with the contemporary coming-of-age story of friendship, family, love, sex, loyalty, faith, work, and loss. Alice, 17, serves as a bridesmaid at her cousin’s wedding (and enjoys the wild, sometimes raunchy, bachelorette party), volunteers with her friends at a homeless shelter, visits her boyfriend in his college dorm (she packs condoms but does not use them), and much more. At the story’s climax, a tragic loss makes Alice confront what she believes. As candid, funny, and touching as the rest of the series. Grades 9-12. --Hazel Rochman
