* JerkassWoobie: Kev is certainly not lacking in the asshole department, but when you see him fail in getting people to love him and remember that he is [[TheMentallyDisturbed factually insane]], sometimes it's hard not to feel bad for him.
--->He’s never seemed to understand why people don’t like him, and [Yvette's] rejection still hurts him more than most.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome:
** Anything where Alice doesn't sit by as TheWoobie, and tries to takes charge of her life, whether from [[CallingTheOldManOut letting Kev have it for his abusive behavior]] ([[EstablishingCharacterMoment especially the first time]], [[GoodIsNotNice where the author didn't expect somebody with the "Good" trait to be even physically capable of doing that]]), [[{{Determinator}} to trying her best to work hard at school and her part-time job at the grocer.]] The part where she gets a promotion at said job was probably one of the biggest for her In-Universe, especially for somebody with her low self-esteem - the way she keeps celebrating, and otherwise express nothing but pure, unadulterated joy was enough to completely startle the author.
* CrowningMomentOfFunny:
** Alice breaking everything she touches in Zedadias' house. Then again, it's more FunnyAneurysmMoment when you realize that Zedadias is her one true friend and Alice probably didn't want to break things there.
** Kev may be an asshole, but a lot of the stuff he does when dealing with people who ''aren't'' Alice is ActuallyPrettyFunny.
** Kev randomly going on an adventure in the wilderness, traveling across the countryside before yelling at a Stonehenge-like monument and eventually passing out in the middle of a field.
*** He then returns to town and sees Alice with Zedadias. When Kev notices her all refreshed, while he's in a stinky, sleepy wreck, the photos zoom into his resulting rage.
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming:
** When Alice tells the story of her life to Zedadias, and he silently gives her a hug - the first hug Alice had ever received.
** [[http://aliceandkev.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/selflessness/ What Alice does with her first paycheck]].
** Alice's 18th birthday.
** [[spoiler: Kev's last wish is to make it up to his daughter for being a lousy Dad. Alice rejects him, but while he sleeps for the last time she watches over him. ]]

* FanDumb: When Roburky announced a schedule slip [[http://aliceandkev.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/announcement/ here]], the majority of commenters were supportive. But the number who seriously argued he had an obligation to continue producing free blog posts on schedule was frightening.

* TearJerker

to:

* TearJerkerTearJerker: The whole story is this, especially since the author constantly emphasizes how much of a problem homelessness like this is in RealLife, as well as putting in plugs for various societies and charities that helped out the homeless. [[spoiler: The fact that Alice donates her first paycheck to one of these charities, [[FridgeHorror out of a sense that there are people even LESS fortunate than herself out there]], really hammers home both the most optimistic and pessimistic aspects this story covers]].
