Go Ask Alice

madison_bonilla shared a tip "This book is so much more than I expected! It brings sadness to read the spiraling down of someone who is addicted to drugs. Well written and beautifully told. Heartbreaking story that needs to be read by everyone!"

max_conrad shared a tip "it was a good book, written as if it were a teenage girls diary, we watch her spiral into drug addiction and the bumpy road to recovery and relapse."

prismaticdream shared a tip "While this book can be an interesting read, after doing more research on it, it's easy to find out that it's not a real account of "Alice" instead it's the writings of a Mormon youth counselor who created stories like this one to keep children on the path of God"

alycia_russell shared a tip "This book was different than all other books I have read. It was a heart wrenching book that told a true story without anything being held back. Loved it"

claudia_webb shared a tip "@mattnelsonsurfs it’s been a long time since I’ve read this book but I’d have to say when she starts her drug experience journey and all the feels that goes along with it. Even though it’s set in the 60’s, I feel many teens could relate to her emotions (maybe not so much the drug experiences that Alice had though haha)"

angie__4692 shared a tip "It was an okay book. When the book was slow, the read was really slow. Definitely skimmed through some pages. However when it picked up, it was really intriguing!"

angieambience shared a tip "This was sad. I had to keep reminding myself that she was only 15. The things she went thru. And things she did. It's heartbreaking. But the epilogue got me thinking. I don't think it was accidental nor willingly. People are evil. And can do more than damage you'd ever think possible. Poor girl. She was on the right path.. absolutely think some teens should read this. Drugs are no joke. People are worse. This is MY opinion on this book.."

rebecca_bates_1137 shared a tip "This is and always has been one of my favorites. I was about 12 when I first checked this book out of my school library. I didn’t know then, that when I got into high school I’d have drugs all around me and offered to me. Every turn in life I have referred back to this book, it kept me on my toes and taught me not to give into to the peer pressure. This book was such a huge life experience for me again and again(I picked this book up almost 20 years ago and still can’t put it down.)"

nicolette_froelicher shared a tip "Yes and no. Was a good book to read when I was a teenager, but as an adult it was flat, retro and very just say no to drugs kids kind of vibe. It originally came out in the 60's, 70's. The movie was made in the 70's."

natalia_chorzepa shared a tip "This book shakes you to your core as you feel through the contradicting diary entries that the main character’s desperate struggle for a life without drugs seems so impossible as addiction rages her life... #mustread #mentalhealth #reallife #addiction #drugs"

angie_erb shared a tip "Sorry for the delay, I'm new to this app and still trying to figure it out! Lol I just recently reread A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. I definitely recommend it if you haven't read it yet!"

simra_baig shared a tip "okay, so the book kind of sucked in my opinion. As someone around the age of Alice, some of the strings she says and does really bother me, the book gets sort of confusing at the end, I already know how the rest of it is going to go. Maybe it's the diary format or maybe it's the actual character herself but I didn't enjoy this book, it's so hard to get emotional about. i would not recommend this book for a read. it's not worth it."

raquela_westrope shared a tip "This book is really good. It shows you the raw realness of addiction. With a sad but true ending. TW: they do talk about R*pe, SA, depression, and drug use and abuse. "

caitlin_cagney shared a tip "I liked reading through the mind of another in a totally different way than we usually do in books. Seeing her decent, and her uprising only for it to ultimately end at the cost of her life, was saddening, and i felt myself wishing things got better for this girl."
