A review by pj_steph
Unmask Alice: LSD, Satanic Panic, and the Imposter Behind the World's Most Notorious Diaries by Rick Emerson

dark emotional sad medium-paced

3.75

Emerson really layed out the complex layers of not only "Go Ask Alice," but the heartbreaking history of a person taking advantage of teenagers to make her name known. The tales of both "Alice," but mainly "Jay" show that adults looking for easy answers "for the children" isn't always what is best. 

At times, the timeline and layout of the book were a bit confusing, overall it was an enjoyable read.
