Publisher's Summary

Life at 15 isn't easy for a girl if she's shy and hates the way she looks. Each day is heaven or hell, depending on who talks to her, or who doesn't. So when she's finally accepted by a group, she doesn't refuse their party games, even if it means taking LSD. Soon she's taking little pills to wake up and others to go to sleep, and the days begin to blur. Leaving the secure, middle-class circle of her family, she travels into a nightmare realm of hustlers and dealers. Homeless, driven by drug highs and lows, she sometimes tries to regain control over her life. But it's much easier to just get high again.

Based on a 15-year-old's diary, Go Ask Alice is the intimate account of one girl's fatal journey into the world of drug addiction. Poignant and unflinchingly honest, her story is a tragedy that is repeated in towns and cities across the country.

Old Classic

I remember reading this book when I was as young as the character in it. I could relate to it then and even as an adult. The narrator was amazing, she totally got into the character, really nice voice. Totally recommend this book

Devastating but good

I'm only giving it a 4/5 overall because it isn't a true story, it was written by a Mormon youth counselor who lied about it being a real diary to push an anti drug message. However, aside from that, I enjoyed this book even though the ending just ripped my heart out of my chest

I wish I could give negative stars

I picked this one up because someone recommended it. The idea of a true, real-life diary of a teenage addict sounded interesting.

I wish I had taken the time to read other reviews. I knew very quickly that this could not possibly be a genuine diary. Not only is this book clearly pure fiction, it is propaganda. This book infuriated me. It is complete and utter trash.

Storyline Trump's a Forced Narration! A Must Read!

ℹ️ Fantastic choice of narrator for this title. However reading seems/sounds forced/faked throughout the reading, though definitely worth it overall! Having previously owned & read Go Ask Alice Anonymous can say I'm still likely listen and or read it again & again. it's In your face real life experiences are refreshing time and time again! A true emotional rollercoaster into the untold reality of teens from every "class" & generation. The truth isn't out there, it's rig
A definite RELATABLE must read, for all! from beginning to end there's a little bit of Alice in us All!
