For a minute I thought this book/diary was written by a real person. I'm glad it's just fiction because the epilogue was just sad.

The fact that it's not verified whether it is an actual diary or a fictional piece of work makes it a little less "shocking", compared to if it was real.

Despite the drug consumption and abuse - which has been largely contested in this "true account" - this is a heartbreaking and poignant narrative surrounding mental health of teenagers and specifically teenage girls. This resonates deeply as a coming-of-age story.

I wish Alice was able to live.
