I've actually thought about Go Ask Alice off and on over the years, it was that vivid in my mind, and I've re-read it at least a couple of times. I mean, obviously we did! Because here was the book cover!
Yep, that's definitely what LSD feels like! Wow, what vivid and accurate depictions of sex!Īnd of course we all believed that it was true. I vividly remember discussing the book with all of my equally naive junior high friends, firmly taking everything that we read at face value. Kids who hadn't ever read for pleasure before checked Go Ask Alice out and tore through it, delighted, I'm sure, by all the discussion-IN WRITING!!-of sex and drugs and more sex and more drugs.
Bless our school librarian for making sure we had high-interest schlock to read, because I remember that it took me SO LONG to be able to check the book out for myself, it was so popular.
