Go Ask Alice is an intriguingly provoking read that claims to use the real diary entries of a troubled teenager girl who is exposed to the life of drugs when she attends a party one summer. The book itself is in the form of a diary, and so each entry follows the life of this girl (who is never named) as she falls down the rabbit hole.
It is clear in her writing that the drugs change her, as her first entries tended to be more sweet, innocent, and child like. As time progresses you can tell just how much this girl is growing up because of these bad choices, and even when she gets better there is something or someone which pushes her back into that down spiraling life of drugs.
The ending is what stuck with me the most, and it has left me in a state of awe. The first hand accounts presented in this book are what make it so fascinating in a disturbing way. Overall the story captured me and I just wanted to read more and more until there were no pages left.
