go ask alice.

-oh man,  is it just me or is it really weird that I connected on so many different levels to this Anonymous 15 year old diary writer? Its quite crazy to think that the diary she had was her only friend, the only one she could trust fully. One of the quotes I read in the book stuck to my mind was "After you've had it, there isn't even life without drugs. Its a plodding, colourless, dissonant, bare existence. It stinks.", which is quite true...i mean it is so rare to see an adolescence out there enjoying life without the aid of alcohol or drugs, or maybe it's just me, how I perceive the world. It's only too bad Ive been raised in this generation when i could have been a true hipster in the 70's or maybe the 60's! The only thing I would change is the ending, it didn't settle with me too well and it was disappointing to see her succeed for once in life. Ah well...off i go but i can say that this book was definitely prime, read it if you haven't.
