I don’t really have a lot of words to describe my thoughts on this book yet. But I did thoroughly enjoy my time reading it.

Despite the drug consumption and abuse - which has been largely contested in this "true account" - this is a heartbreaking and poignant narrative surrounding mental health of teenagers and specifically teenage girls. This resonates deeply as a coming-of-age story.

I wish Alice was able to live.
