The book is told from alternating points of view, and four of Alice's classmates provide accounts of heavy drinking and rumours about Alice's promiscuity. Mathieu skims the harmful topics of slut-shaming, rumours, and lies in a way that places this title in the ranks of books like the "Gossip Girl" series by Cecily von Ziegesar (Little, Brown) as opposed to more thought-provoking titles like The Mockingbirds by Daisy Whitney (Little, Brown, 2010).
