Alice was good
5By petey@132This 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
5By chapter-maggotCaptivating, had me wanting to read more and more. Hard to put downIt was great !
4By LOLa the cute cat1987Overall 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.“For most of history ‘anonymous’ was a woman”
5By kat lacy greyBeautiful not because it felt good, but beautifully pure and sad and true Tragedy of drugsLoved and still do!
5By dlmt88First 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.Go ask Alice
2By Diamond ale toI’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.Don’t buy
1By johohnwayneWas just the open title page. Not the book.70’s drug propaganda
1By mart2121The book seems not based on actual experienceVery unfortunate
5By biggtittybThis 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
5By nels2714This 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.Recommended
5By yulengjRead this book when I was a teenager and it’s one of my favoritesAmazing story
5By Atl97jackbissexyRead this when I was 14, read it again now at age 22. Still as compelling as I remember. Really resonates with you.A FAKE book
1By Indiana GoofAll this time later, and STILL Beatrice Sparks’s embarrassingly fake book gets treated as fact?! Why read and support this trash when there are so many genuinely reliable accounts of drug abuse published?one of my favorite books!
5By angiegonzvlezi love this book so much, definitely hard to put down once you started readingStill Relevant
5By TallentgirlI think every teenage girl should read this book. I read it the first time when I was 15. I have recommended it to every teenage girl I know, and now it’s time for me to give it to my teenage daughter. The content is a tough read but that’s the point, in one way or another we can all relate to “Alice”.Not what I expected or wanted, but ok
2By Justinep3At first I thought it felt a little inauthentic. Like it’s a book about drug use but the escalation is insane. It reads like a cop pretending to narrate the life of a drug dealer. When I looked up the book and found the author was a psychologist, it really all made sense. I was hoping for a relatable, nuanced book but this was not that. It felt like thinly disguised anti drug propaganda. Also the ending sucked. With all the negatives out of the way I kind of did enjoy reading the book, but more so to hear how a psychologist thinks the reality is, compared to what I know and what I’ve gathered from others.este libro apesta
1By SkinnyLegend00está bien aburrido y corto, el personaje principal apestaIt's ok
2By Short.tkk22Not that great but it kept my attentionLove
