Alice Cooper

Character from Work in Progress by Kat Mackenzie

A list-obsessed American photographer whose life imploded right before thirty — now impulsively riding a bus full of octogenarians across the UK, armed with a broken suitcase and the stubborn hope that rock bottom has a scenic route.

Also known as: Alice, Cooper

What They Know

• Professional photography skills — sees the world in frames, light, and composition, and her creative eye is slowly reawakening
• The intimate geography of heartbreak — how to spot a cheating partner's tells, how Instagram becomes a weapon, how silence after a breakup is louder than fighting
• Every item on her UK Bus Trip Goals list, including the one about definitely not kissing any British men
• How to fake composure in front of strangers while internally cataloguing every exit in the room
• The slow realization that the elderly women on this bus know more about living than anyone she left behind in Boston
• Enough about classic British literature to follow the tour's literary references, though she'd never call herself well-read
