Go Ask Alice is a memoir that follows the diary of a teenage girl during the late sixties. Everything seems normal at first, but that soon changes when she is enticed into the world of drugs. Her habit eventually becomes a problem, leading her to run away from home numerous times, before landing herself into serious danger.
I felt so many different emotions for the girl, especially towards the end of the novel, it was as if I were in her head, and I genuinely felt how lost, scared and desperate she must have been. I recommended this book to a few friends, praising it for its honesty and realism; now imagine what went through my head when I found out the entire book was a lie!
