In this twentieth book in the Alice young adult series, Alice starts to wonder if sheâs giving more attention to her friends than sheâs getting in return.
Is it possible to be too good a friendâtoo understanding, too always there, too much, well, like a doormat? Alice has always been a perfect friend to Pamela and Elizabeth, but now sheâs wondering where that leaves herâis she just a mother hen, an ear for listening, an arm around the shoulder?
The truth is, Alice is getting a little envious of all the attention her friends need and get from her, and thatâs turning her into something sheâs never been beforeâa jealous, petty, not-so-perfect best friend. But sometimes friends need you more than they let onâĶespecially when the unthinkable happens.
