What a hard sad subject. That our youth should ever have to go through something, anything, like this is so so sad. That she didn't feel that she could really tell anybody everything about herself was just heart breaking. I can only hope/wish that this is getting better and not worse

I love this book! The only problem is that I don't believe that this is a real diary of young girl. The writting style changes and doesn't sound like a teenager wrote it at times. Seems fishy to me.....

Read it when I was in high school and I still remember that book clearly decades later. Harrowing account about drug addiction and it made me so sad at the end. Book worth the read to teach one about the reality of drug addiction.

I read this book when I was in middle school it is my ultimate favorite book. It is very educational and I agree it should be a must read in Middle and High School as part of the curriculum to educate students on what could happen if they follow that road. It is a very touching story and I will be getting my children to read it as well when they get to either Middle School or High School. Five Stars.

This was a good book. I found the story touching. It really does teach you a life lesson,but since It was a diary I thought it would've been more personal. I know it's a true story but there were some parts I found boring. I was devasted and suprised when I found out that the girl was found dead in real life. In a way I think " Wow she went through all this just to be found dead". Again I say it's a good lesson because you would think she's better in real life and someone just published her story but it's not. It's a short book. Read only If your very instrested. Three Stars.

I read this book as a teen and made my teen read it. He enjoyed it and laughed about the life lesson I wanted him to have.

Really GREAT book!! If you enjoy Go Ask Alice, then read Lucy in the Sky, which is a novel also by Anonymous. It is also a greaat story. :)

Incredible book is right! You might try, "Lucy in the Sky". also.

SUCH an incredible book. It made my heart ache for all of the young teens that get sucked into the merciless life of drug use, especially in this day and age. Her story, while very shocking and moving, is not unlike many others out there which belong to other teenage drug addicts. It just goes to show that a little marijuana, or some of this and some of that, can suck you in deeper than you meant to go. Where I live, this should be a mandatory read at the high school. It's both a good read AND educational.

This book took me three days to read because I could not put it down. It's themes are timeless even though it has an impacting setting: the sixties. I loved this book not only because it does take place in the 60s, which is my favorite decade, but also because it is so relatable to anyone reading. Being a teeneage I could sympathyze with the girl who wrote the diaries. It also made me reflect on my friends who have slipped down the slope of drug use. In my opinion this book should be read by all teenagers and young adults as well as their parents.

A harrowing story about a 15 year old girl who falls into the wrong crowd while trying to please her parents and everyone around her. The raw emotional turmoil really will never let you forget Alice.
