Thats Not What I Planned

"Sometimes life happens. Not everything always goes the way we planned"

---

Life has no reins, no one can control what is going to happen tomorrow. Dreaming is not bad at all. It nourishes our hope and by extension the strength and resources we use to achieve our goals.

With strength and courage. There are days like that, when sadness embraces you and traps you. When there is an inexplicable feeling of anger inside you. An anger which combines with…. A narcissistic attitude sometimes turns into a real nightmare for the people around them. They inflate their ego to an extreme degree. Try seeking advice from people you can trust and those who can assist you. The reason you may have failed in the first place is because you made decisions from an uninformed place. Maintain good relationships In every situation always try and have a good healthy relationship with your family and friends.

In time of need they are the people who will have your back and make you feel secure. Instead, learn the reason behind its failure and avoid repeating the same mistake again. Let go and start over. Stick to your core values and principles. Failure should not change you negatively.

This lets you get know Alice's character and feel the same struggles she feels when facing her challenges. Naylor, also, uses a very simple vocabulary throughout the book. This creates a very easy reading book, especially for a younger audience. I'd also recommend the book to high school aged girls. Dec 07, Shannon rated it really liked it. Starting off sophomore year, Alice McKinley is ready to take on the new challenges that life will throw at her. Whether it be her friend, family, or schoolmate drama she is growing up due to the experiences she is involved in. The fact that her entire life is changing, her brother moving on to the next steps in his career, her father getting remarried, and her ever changing relationship status, aids this growth as she continues on.

Naylor's simplistic techniques in writing make her stand apart. S Starting off sophomore year, Alice McKinley is ready to take on the new challenges that life will throw at her. She takes broad ideas and writes in such small, everyday words. Not once will there be a need for a dictionary while reading this book, allowing a range in ages for an audience. Naylor chooses a new method of writing for this book- creative freedom and elaborate plot twists. Originally, the events in the book were relatable, attracting teenage girls, but now with more fictional events, Naylor evokes previous reader's imagination.

It summarized a normal teenage girl's life and the ups and downs, sad and happy moments, relationships and family problems, father getting re-married, brother moving out fighting with friends or watching a friend go through pain.

I've never cried at a book because I don't read usually and i didn't cry at this book but I could see why some people would. It's humorous, romantic, and realistic. It was something pages and I read it in 4 days it was that good and like I previously said I don't really read. I would recommend this book to anyone! Just some parts of the book were really annoying by Alice's attitude and how she was a paranoid freak about everything like when she takes the drivers test and freaks out if any little thing happens.

But overall it's amazing! Mar 05, Brianna Doran rated it it was amazing. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about want goes on in a girls life.

Dec 09, Dania Gomez rated it really liked it. I know this book is really simple, but I just have so much fun reading it. I love reading fantsay, which is why most of the books I read are about that, which is why I enjoyed this: There's nothing extraodinary about it, no boy with fatal disease, no forbidden romance, no magical adventures. It's just about a girl living her everyday and ordinary life. But, somehow, I really enjoy reading it because I like Alice and how she reacts to the situations around her, and I love Lester a I know this book is really simple, but I just have so much fun reading it.

Makes me wish I had read it in high school! And even though I'm in college, I wasn't bored with this book. Dec 28, Sheyenne rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: I just love Alice McKinley. When I first started reading this series I thought that Alice's character was too goody. But she's become one of my favorite characters. I like how she goes through anything any other teenager goes through while acting her age.

I love that she worries all the time and over reacts about everything maybe because I do the same. But she's just a real character. All the characters are real. One of my favorite things about this book was how Phyllis Reynolds Naylor showed how African Americans were treated without over doing it. I think all teenage girls should read these books. They will learn alot. Jan 02, Beatrice Goyer rated it it was amazing. I really loved this book. Actually, I love all the books in the Alice McKinley series.

I love how you're basically just a spectator on her life, and you get to see her grow up and change over the years. I also love how she, Elizabeth, and Pamela stick together through everything no matter what and always have each other's backs. They are each an example of different personalities. Pamela is outgoing and the opposite of shy, Elizabeth is almost the opposite, sort of shy and stays back, and Alice I really loved this book.

Pamela is outgoing and the opposite of shy, Elizabeth is almost the opposite, sort of shy and stays back, and Alice is the thinker of the group who always worries about what might happen. I absolutely recommend this book to anybody who likes realistic fiction and books about people's lives. Feb 06, Samantha rated it really liked it.

Naylor nails lol exactly how it feels to be a teenage girl! The way you feel about boys, friends, family.

The way you dramatize something insignificant. The choices you make. I like that Alice isn't a perfect character. She makes dumb decisions. She worries to much. She gets jealous and petty. Definitely recommend this book, especially if you are a teen and double especially if you're looking for som This book series is so incredibly relatable. Definitely recommend this book, especially if you are a teen and double especially if you're looking for something other and dystopian, sci-fi novels.
