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.
"We had to read this one in school, supposedly to put us off drugs. We - the students - mostly just talked about the conspiracy theories surrounding it and didn´t take it all that seriously.
However, the only thing this book taught me was that I really don´t want to lead a conventional life. I want to run away at some point. Who knows when. I´m getting a bit too old to run away."
