Go Ask Alice:

Synopsis

Presented as the diary of a teenage girl, Go Ask Alice follows a young woman whose life unravels after she unknowingly takes LSD at a party. What begins as a single traumatic experience spirals into addiction, isolation, and an increasingly desperate search for belonging. Through raw and immediate diary entries, the novel traces her struggle to reclaim herself as drugs pull her further from the people who love her.

First published in 1971, Go Ask Alice became one of the most widely read young adult novels of the twentieth century. Though originally presented as a true diary, it is now generally understood to be a work of fiction. Its enduring impact lies in its unflinching portrayal of adolescence, vulnerability, and substance use.
