If my own rating system would allow me to give a lower rating, I would... Yes, this was a really quick read but oh my GOD I was SO frustrated.
The main character aka "the diarist" is a really unlikable and dull character.
I can't wrap my head around how people could think this book was actually real?! I'm pretty sure a 14-15 year old don't write like that... Not even in the 70's. I'm also pretty sure that is not how drugs work... Especially weed and LSD. The diarist drinks the LSD spiked coke on July 10... 9 fucking days later she is shooting up Speed. And only then actually tried weed. And the smell of weed makes her relapse into her weed and LSD addiction?
If you want to read an actual memories by an actual teenage addict, read Zoo Station: The Story of Christiane F. it is way better written and has a bigger impact than whatever this was.
