While Alice's relationship with Miss Millie was described well, there are many relationships that are ill-defined in the end: Alice and the mean boy, Alice and the doctor's daughter, Alice and her father, and Alice's mother and the store owner. Any issues involving Alice's grandmother dealing with dementia are left hanging. I just kept waiting to be satisfied in all of these matters, but never was.
There is a certain amount of charm to this book. Author Tamara Bundy captures a certain era of the past with great skill. I wanted to like this book. I kept waiting for the climax of the story, but it never really came. In addition, there was never a real resolution to the problems that occurred along the way.
