Go Ask Alice by Beatrice Sparks
4.0
SYNOPSIS:
This book is a true story about a girl who finds herself trapped in a world full of drugs.At first the main character is a good student and a wonderful daughter but after getting a cup with LSD in it at a party, her life becomes a downward spiral and eventually becomes complete chaos.
REVIEW:
At the beginning of the novel I felt like I related a lot to the main character, I felt that her personality was similar to mine and to a lot of other teenagers. She has certain thoughts that we think, certain feelings that we have, and just like a lot of teenagers, she's curious. Even after she started getting sucked into drugs she still seemed like a nice person who truly didn't want to hurt her family. Over the course of the book her life becomes very chaotic and I feel so bad for her, especially how he felt as if no one was there for her and she had no one to talk to except her diary. It's a very detailed, deep, and often dark tale and you really get to know who this girl is without even knowing her name. You begin to feel for her, you begin to think of her as like a friend. This novel was amazing but I was very sad about the epilogue, I just felt like the last sentence in it wasn't fair and wasn't right to have put in there but I'm not going to give anything away so your going to have to read the book yourself to understand why I felt that way and what it is.
AGE RATING AND RECOMMENDED TO:
This is a very dark book so I recommend it to those who are 14 and over and who are okay with reading "heavy" books.
