Go Ask Alice

Title: Go Ask Alice
Author: Anonymous
Date of Publication: 1971

This is my second Nonfiction book, and I'm really looking forward to reading it. If I haven't said this already, if a book contains any of the following: sex, drugs, alcohol, death/murder/suicide, or teenage problems I'll read it. I guess it just keeps me interested, and I knew that Go Ask Alice was a diary of a girl who pretty much experienced all of those things. I've heard only good things about it, and it was also recommended by Alice Hopkins if you liked her book, Crank, which I did, a lot.
I have high expectations for the book because of all the good things I've heard about it, and also because most books involving drugs and sex I have high hopes for. I realize that since this is a true story, and someones actual diary that things may get messy, seeing as I understand, after she starts doing drugs, she doesn't stop. Also, the fact that it's happening in the late 60s only adds to my interest because I'm also a big fan of the 60s/70s.
I haven't gotten very far into the book, but I know I'll like it. I'm sure there will be more to come as the drugs and sex unfold
