Description
A riveting first-person tale of addiction, in the tradition of Go Ask Alice and Jay’s Journal.
The author of this diary began journaling on her sixteenth birthday. She lived in an upper middle class neighborhood in Santa Monica with her mom, dad, and Berkeley-bound older brother. She was a good girl, living a good life...but one party changed everything. One party, where she took one taste—and liked it. Really liked it.
Social drinking and drugging lead to more, faster, harder... She convinced herself that she was no different from anyone else who liked to party. But the evidence indicates otherwise: Soon she was she hanging out with an edgy crowd, blowing off school and everything she used to care about, all to find her next high.
But what goes up must come down, and everything—from her first swig, to her last breath—is chronicled in the diary she left behind.

3By Diamond ale toComing from a family full of addicts I get it. The book was good but the ENDING had me screaming!!!! What kind of ending is that?! I mean really . She dies within 1 year when it just started with pot!? Not really common. I don’t think this book sheds as much light as it could have .Woah
5By nels2714This is an amazing story, but definitely for older readers. I read it at 12 and probably should have waited a year or two, but it is definitely a good book. Shocking, riveting, and gut-wrenching all at the same time. Made me think in a way I never thought I would think. So goodamazing book
5By #unicornsqaud#sqaudgoaldthis book is really good if you’re a teenager and you’re looking for something that you can relate to, while it is about drugs and drinking, it teaches a very good lesson to children about the dangers of not being careful.One of the best

5By ThebookwormofthecenturyThis is one of the best books I've read so far this year . This book shows teenagers that drugs are nothing to play and a addiction is sometimes hard to to overcome . Even thou the ending was sad and depressing it was still a lovely book and reminds me so much of Go ask AliceAmazing 😍

5By Kaykay1141This book was amazing. There are many laughs, cries, and regrets for the characters involved. It is an amazing insight on teenage addiction/teenage drug use. I have never been this captivated by a book and has taught me so much. I have completely fallen in love with this book and any teenager will too.Lucy in the sky
