Jay's Journal

so-so

These books are supposedly based on real journals from teens.. This one deals with a bit of witchcraft and that in itself made it too much for me..

TheBookstorePodcast I read Go Ask Alice as a teen (also by "Anonymous"). I seem to remember there being a part where it notes that a specific diary entry was written on a paper bag or something and found on a park bench. That was a little more of a stretch than I was willing to believe. ? 7y

booksensation @TheBookstorePodcast lol I agree! I read that one as well and felt the same way.. I think they add certain details to make it seem more interesting but it backfires a little 😆 7y

So, I haven't read this. I read Go Ask Alice as a teenager KNOWING it was a true story & being shook.
Then, I learned it & the pictured book were written by a therapist named Beatrice Sparks & felt betrayed. She claimed to have FOUND these stories & the lie just felt slimey.

night_shift I don't know why I even have this book still 😒 8y

ReadingRover I thought Go Ask Alice was true also. The betrayal stung 🐝when I was told that it wasn't. 8y

night_shift @ReadingRover yeah, like.. not sure why she felt the need to lie about it? Maybe the sales would've been crap if not for the anonymous bit .. idk, just 😒 8y

I absolutely despised "Go Ask Alice" so, of course, when I spotted the companion book at the thrift store I had to buy it. Sounds exactly the freaking same. I am expecting much pain.

wellreadredhead I HATE these! I'm so glad some else feels the same way. I couldn't even finish Jay's Journal it was so terrible. 8y

This one was absolutely my least favourite, still okay I guess…Just not as good as the others. I really didn‘t like the whole Occult thing, it was a little scary, and I don't think it was a REALLY good book like the others.. I just didn't really get it to be honest..

Love anonymous. These diary like books are eye opening and super sad but they make you think about things.
