Such a Fun Age — why is Alix the villain?

[Anonymous]

Putting aside the video leak, that was obviously wrong. But re the high school situation with Kelly, why was she wrong to call the police to break up a party at her own house that she didn’t even start, and that was caused by Kelly leaking a private note from her? What else was she supposed to do, let the, trash her house and trespass when she didn’t know these people? I don’t know why Kelly is painted as the good guy as Alix the evil white villain in this book. It really annoys me.

I read this book a few years ago, but I liked how the party incident continued to impact characters years later, plus I could picture this event going down in my high school.
If I remember correctly Kelly had started hanging with the cool jocks, and Alix wasn’t cool - it was easy to blame the wealthy awkward white girl for the popular jock’s downfall (who was Black). Again - so high school!
I liked this book - the opening scene in Whole Foods caught on video - also spot on.
I can’t remember how it ended though.

I hated this book. Tried to read it and just couldn't get into it. Then did the audiobook and all of it was like nails on a chalk board.
