Plot: The novel "Go Ask Alice" was written by Beatrice Sparks in 1971. It is set in the United States of America in the late 1960s and is written below form of diary of a confused and troubled fifteen-year-old named Alice (assuming the title of the novel refers to her name). The girl who writes the diary is very worried about her weight, her crush on Roger and has difficulty fitting in at school. At first she is very relieved when she learns that her family will be moving to a new city, due to her father's new job as a professor at another university. In the new place, things are not as he expected. Unlike the rest of her family, she has difficulty making friends and feels like an outcast at school. Luckily she meets a nearby girl with whom she becomes best friends, but they soon separate when the diarist goes to her grandparents for the summer. Here she is extremely bored and misses her friend Beth very much. So she comes into contact with her old friend Jill, who invites her to a party. Once there, a group of teenagers sit in a circle and drink Coca Cola mixed with LSD, without informing Alice. Although she likes the effect drugs have on her, Alice vows never to take them again. This promise to herself is soon broken when she takes more drugs because she is curious and excited about her first trip. This leads her to have sex with one of her peers during a trip and thus lose her virginity. She has always sworn to lose her virginity to her lover Roger, who suddenly shows up at her door with his parents, because they want to visit Alice's grandfather who has had a slight heart attack. Although she is very happy to see Roger, she is tormented by the fact that she has recently lost... half the paper... her existence spiraling out of control, due to the influence of drugs. It's an easy book to read because it's broken down into many separate entries, making you always curious about how one day's events will affect the next. It's a bit slow at first, because she seems like a whiny teenager complaining about her problems, but later it evolves into a very captivating story that is worth the reader's time, even if the epilogue ruins the book since the protagonist he dies even though everything suggested that his life was sorted out again. This sends a message to teenagers with drug problems that they will never be able to fix their lives again. I would recommend the book to any teenager before trying drugs so that they understand the impact drugs can have on their life. The novel is also suitable for parents who don't know how to deal with their children's drug abuse.
