4.0

While I could not put this book down (I finished reading it in about 8 hours), I can’t help but wonder, like many other reviews, if this “diary” was fake. It seems to me that this book was geared towards teens to scare them into not trying drugs. This book spans abut a year and a half, and she was in a complete downward spiral. I personally feel this book read as a true fiction book and that the events described did not happen this fast, especially since the main character specified she only tried “hard” drugs a handful of times. Because of this, I do believe the dates were sped up at the very least. 

Regardless, a very captivating and quick read.
