Go Ask Alice By Anonymous 
Prompt:  Would you recommend this book to friends? Why or Why not?   
Pages Read: 58-end


"Go Ask Alice" by Anonymous is diary of an actual 15 year old girl who got into drugs. She was a really good student, she had honors and her parents were really proud of her. Until one day they had to move houses. Everything changed for her.. new home, new school, and new friends. When school was finally over she went to spend the summer with her grandma and while she was there she got invited to a party. At the party she was served a coke which had LSD in it. Once she tried that drug... her whole life changed.


Yes, I would recommend this book. This book changed my point of view on the outcomes of drugs. "Go Ask Alice" is an actual diary of a girl who took drugs. The outcome of her taking drugs was surprising. She explained everything that happened to her when she took the drugs. I would recommend this book because some teenagers these days think drugs are cool and stuff like that but this book explains the outcome of taking drugs. The outcomes are horrifying. A 15 year old girl who was a straight A student came down to skipping classes, selling drugs to minors, etc. She ruined her whole life by just taking one drug. I would really recommend this book.


She slowly begins to get addicted to the drugs, day by day she takes them more and more. The more she takes them the more she ruins her own life. She tries to stop her addiction but she can't resist and she has to take drugs. In her diary she even says, "After you've had it, there isn't even a life without drugs". Two things that you will learn in this book is to never do drugs and to not trust a lot of people. She trusted different people and told them the truth about her and how she did drugs. Those people went around and told other people and eventually everyone heard about her. When she tried to erase her past about the drugs she couldn't because everyone knew what she had done. This is a really life changing book, I would recommend it to most people.

(I know I never mentioned the name of the girl in the book and it is because it never mentions it in the book)

I commented on Mia, Diana's, and Evie's blogs for this week.
