Not to be confused with Alice and Bob.
There are commented out Zero-Context Examples.
Alice & Joe contains examples of:
- Another Side, Another Story: You can read the whole story as either Alice or Joe, and although the concrete events remain the same, your understanding of their personal perspectives shifts dramatically.
- Author Appeal: The author being a man who'd love to get rid of his breasts.
- D-Cup Distress: Joe. This trope being Always Female is part of the reason he's so distressed.
- Fanservice: Averted, to the surprise of some, considering it's all about boobies.
- Oop North: Both characters use occasional Scouse slang.
- Sitting on the Roof: Where the whole story takes place.
- Unreliable Narrator: Revealed by the option to read as both characters.
