Journal Entry 1 by CrazyDutchwoman from Heemstede, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Sunday, July 03, 2011

The torture and hell of adolescence has rarely been captured as clearly as it is in this classic diary by an anonymous, addicted teen. Lonely, awkward, and under extreme pressure from her "perfect" parents, "Anonymous" swings madly between optimism and despair. When one of her new friends spikes her drink with LSD, this diarist begins a frightening journey into darkness. The drugs take the edge off her loneliness and self-hate, but they also turn her life into a nightmare of exalting highs and excruciating lows.

Although there is still some question as to whether this diary is real or fictional, there is no question that it has made a profound impact on millions of readers during the more than 25 years it has been in print. Despite a few dated references to hippies and some expired slang, Go Ask Alice still offers a jolting chronicle of a teenager's life spinning out of control.

It is sad that the author of this book did pretend that this was a real story. They still do but now somewhere in the book it will say it is a piece of fiction.

When i read it years ago I was already surprised how quickly this girl got hooked, especially the kind of drugs she uses are not ones you get so easily addicted to. It did not ring true. Now re-reading it it is so obvious this book was written by an adult.
Obviously it was published to be anti drug propaganda but I have read a lot of people who said this book made them curious to drugs instead of making them scared.
Glad to see that goodreads has Beatrice Sparks as the author.
