Description

The acclaimed, bestselling first-person account of a teen girl’s harrowing descent into drug addiction—a cautionary tale as heart-wrenching, shocking, and timely as ever.

January 24th
After you’ve had it, there isn’t even life without drugs…

It started when she was served a drink laced with LSD in a dangerous party game. Within months, she was hooked, trapped in a downward spiral that took her from her comfortable home and loving family to the streets of an unforgiving city. It was a journey that would rob her of her innocence, her youth—and ultimately her life.

Read her diary.
Enter her world.
You will never forget her.

  • Alice was good

    This book was great in high school and it’s still great it was a great movie to. As an adult I am led to believe that Alice was murdered by those who hated her from school. They took her life the same way they started her on drugs, unknowingly. Just makes sense.

  • Great

    Overall This book is a great amazing book and I truly loved it, it was almost hard to read at times and left me speechless. What Alice went through is awful yet amazing how she dealed with it. My favorite part of the book was her outstanding family who no matter what happened or what she did from running away from home or taking dr#gs her family was still always there for her no matter what. That was really meaningful to me.

    First time I read it I was like 16 and loved it. Kept me on the edge wanting to keep reading more and more I couldn’t drop it. Very enjoyable read though it’s not a happy book it’s pretty raw and it plays well into emotions. Don’t let others reviews get u down on it specially like the one that says he doesn’t even know the drugs they are talking about even though he’s parents are lifelong junkies. If you don’t understand a slang just google it goddamnit (sorry saw a bunch a squares saying they can’t take the word goddamn so I wanted to use it). It’s an easy read pretty short and doesn’t go far off topic just to make it longer. Trust me u will like it 5/5.

    I’m not even half way through the book and bought it two weeks ago, usually I finish a book within one weekend. This book is a big jumbled mess. It jumps around so much I don’t even know what’s she’s talking about sometimes and then there’s the horrible labeling of “drugs” in this book that I don’t even know what they are except for weed and I’m 24 years old with parents who have been addicts my entire life! The next problem with this book … every other word is god d**n I hate that word and it makes me cringe just reading it. I keep hoping it gets better but I’m disappointed so far the reviews I have read from this book are so miss leading.

    Was just the open title page. Not the book.

  • 70’s drug propaganda

    This book make me feel some type of way. She was very well spoken for her age, and her parents were nice people. She seemed to always try and do better for herself, it’s unfortunate it just had to end like that.

  • Amazing

    This book was literally painful to read, but so worth it. I read this at 12, probably should have waited a year or two but the hate is unneeded. This book is spectacular and I suggest it to anyone wanting to ‘feel something’ when they read their next book.
