The Secret Diary Of Alice In Wonderland, Age 42 And Three-Quarters (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Free/cheapie ebook from Amazon last fall. I was looking for something to catch my interest last night at oh-dark-hundred, and the first 10% or so was sort of interesting. A couple of hours later, done, though I skimmed in the middle, all around Europe, yada yada. Alice was such a sucker!! The middle of this, after she got together with Nigel, dragged and dragged and she was awfully slow to figure out what was happening. The last 20% or so was pretty decent. 2.5 stars I love the cover. Alice lives in Miami and is embroiled with realtor/gangstas. Also she sees the chesire cat occasionally and compares her life to Alice in Wonderland. (It's a gimme from the title.) She signs up on the net to find a hot Englishman, because she's enamored of all things English. Then things really go south. Liked the sense of humor. Liked that the heroine wasn't a bunny humping nineteen. (Pun intended.) But it was slow going in the first 2/3rds. Once our spunky little Alice got her juju back and started taking control again in the last 1/3 it was much more interesting. The plot was convoluted but I perservered. Lots of A in W references for fun and the bunny issue was just up my twisted alley, but I won't give it away. Quirky is the right word for the novel.
