Alice could be anyone.

Alice could be someone you know.

Alice uses drugs.

With over a million copies in print, Go Ask Alice has become a classic of our time. This powerful real-life diary of a teenager's struggle with the seductive-- often fatal--world of drugs and addiction tells the truth about drugs in a strong and authentic voice. Tough and uncompromising, honest and disturbing--and even more poignant today--Go Ask Alice is a page turning and provocative reading. --front flap

This is a propaganda book passed off as nonfiction and written to discourage kids from doing drugs. I know a lot of people had a connection to the book and that it did impact some growing up so that's why I don't want to rate it. I'm an adult with a whole lotta life experience and it's not a book that was written for me. I do feel it's more antiquated at this point because fear tactics are not the best way to discourage drug use in teens, so it's not something that I would ever give to my kids to read. I understand now why my library does not have a physical copy of this book available.
