She suffers from the pangs of an unrequited crush. The narrator’s weight and self-image, along with a difficult relationship with her mother, plague her. The earliest entries describe Alice’s life before drug use, which was not free from conflict. That doesn’t change the impact created by the hard and honest tone that speaks to how life can fall apart, be rebuilt, fall apart again, and tragically end. After publication, Go Ask Alice was exposed as a fraudulent work, not the diary of one girl but cobbled together by an author from the experiences of several people. The story takes place in early 1970s America.
In Go Ask Alice, the diary is written by a teenage girl over a two-year period and chronicles her experiences with drugs-mainly marijuana, acid, and speed.
Go Ask Alice by Beatrice Sparks is an epistolary work, meaning that is structured as a series of entries such as letters or in this case, a diary.
