I love Alice!

Hello! I practically live in the library and I absolutely LOVE the Alice series. I love how you didn’t make her this “Little miss perfect” and that she made a lot of mistakes during her childhood and even in adulthood because nobody is perfect and growing up is about making mistakes and learning from it, even people who were considered “The perfect child” probably made a mistake or two and probably have some regrets. I love how brutally honest and realistic you were in the series even when reality sometimes feels like a punch in the gut. I learned from reading the Alice series that growing up doesn’t end when you’re 18 or 21 or even 60, the truth is you’re always growing up and learning new things and going on new adventures. Alice for example is still growing up at the end of the series because she’s about to travel the world alongside our beloved Patrick, She’s writing a book series about her life, and she’s looking forward to retirement. Thank you so much for writing the Alice series! You helped me grow up and gave me my childhood best friend who I could look for answers to!

Your email made my day–yours and the many others that tell me the same thing.  I’m just so happy that the series meant that much to you.  I think it helped me to write about Alice too–to make sense of things I had done or said growing up, or things that happened to me or my friends.  I really appreciate your emails.
