Ratings
Violence: 0/5
Drug Abuse: 5/5
Language: 3/5
Nudity: 1/5
Sexual Content: 4/5
*Nudity: There are a few parts where she wakes up naked but doesn't go into detail about what she looks like or anything.
*Language: There are regular swear words then some slang that you might not want your kids to know if that is your concern but it is necessary to the story.
*Sexual Content: People she realizes were having sex but doesn't watch. She talks about sex and other people having sex because it is usually tied to drugs. But doesn't turn it into a porno or anything thank heavens rather it's just a short explanation as to why things ended the way they did.
*Drug Abuse: That is what the book is about if you are unaware of it. She tries many drugs and explains the experience of being on drugs.
Summary
Everyone wants to fit in with the cool kids. Well what happens when they trick you into joining their party drug and abuse you without your permission? Well Alice is a victim of bullies, teenage angst, drugs, and the pressures of high school social life. She gets hooked on uppers, LSD, pot, and has basically been open to anything. But as she enters the drug scene she finds that everyone wants her more miserable than themselves and the stories are gruesome, hard, and real.
Review
I actually did not care about this book very much. Could it be educational? Sure, but you would have to go about it correctly. It is listed as fiction due to no solid evidence that this is a true account. Even if not I believe the things that are inflicted on Alice in her journey.
Alice seemed to be kind of naive and an air head because of the way she talked to her diary and it kind of ate at me. But I read it because it was recommended to me by a close friends. I wouldn't recommend this unless someone I cared about was interested in trying drugs. It did though help me to understand the logic or non-logic of a drug addict in a way I am grateful for that. I give it a 2/5 star rating.
