Listening to Go Ask Alice while I work on this artsy puzzle. I found a woman reading this book on YouTube. I was a little worried at first since the narrator seemed to be untrained, which is totally fine, but it held my attention the whole way through. While her tone was a little monotone, she was consistent and read solidly throughout the novel. This book is wild, and there is so much controversy behind it!

so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ A frequently challenged book that I finally picked up after it, as well as its debunker, Unmask Alice, were both recently referenced on a podcast (I can‘t remember which one). Originally published by “Anonymous,” this claimed to be a real diary written by a real girl who gets mixed up with all the drugs. The controversy over its authenticity is fascinating, and absolutely influenced my opinion.

Just wanted to read it before later reading Unmask Alice. It's the “diary“ of a teenager in the 70s from a good family, falling into drugs.
Didn't seem realistic to me. Would not recommend it. If you are interested in this book, visit your library ;)
pickYou witnessed the downfall of an innocent depressive girl and her use of drugs that eventually became her downfall. At some points, you think she is getting better mentally, but then...
pickThis book is so incredibly sad. It‘s sad for the boys father, mother, sister, brother and especially poor Nic the addict. It shows that it doesn‘t matter how much you love your children and how good you provide for them, addiction is an illness and very hard to overcome. For parents with children with drug addictions or for anyone who would like to learn why people become addicts, this book is well written and educational. Highly recommend.
