All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Lucy In The Sky by Anonymous (Beatrice Sparks) This book is the diary of a young girl only a junior in high school and she walks you through her highs and lows of daily life while on and off drugs. The addiction of drugs and the pull from peers around you. Not only does she begin to resent her brother she later uses his overprotectiveness as an excuse to get high and even after getting a DUI, life does not change for her, the addiction is too strong. She uses varying drugs to feel the rush she needs. Such a sad story, but oh so real about how one thing leads to another, and the spiral becomes overwhelming. Review also posted on Instagram @borenbooks, Library Thing, Go Read, Goodreads/StacieBoren, Amazon, Twitter @jason_stacie and my blog at readsbystacie.com ( ) There are plenty of comparisons between Lucy's story in 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' and Alice's in 'Go Ask Alice'. Both teens were relatively young and innocent before their first sample with the drug of choice; both girls were introduced to drugs through a friend; neither story ends very well for the titular character, who meets an untimely fate after losing her battle with substance abuse. 'Alice' may be seen as more pioneering given when the book was written, but there are lessons to learn from both books. "Smoke us out" is not a freakin term. I hate it! Every time she said it. gah I think the author is trying too hard to sound like a teenager. Go Ask Alice was a million times better. I like it, but some phrases made me mad. And her death is so freakin sudden. Like wtf. There was no real build up. She wasn't falling apart. She was otherwise healthy. blurg Built on the model of Go Ask Alice, and covering much the same territory, but lacking the offbeat weirdness of that narrative. Remember the part when Alice runs away to San Francisco and starts a successful jewelry store, against all odds? Nothing that unlikely happens here, with the result that the story is numbingly predictable: girl tries a drug to fit in, has a good time, then has a bad time, swears off drug. Girl tries different drug to fit in, has a good time, has a bad time, swears off drugs. Escalate from alcohol to pot to acid to coke to e to meth to smack until suitably tragic end has been achieved.

A riveting first-person tale of addiction, in the tradition ofGo Ask Alice and Jay's Journal. The author of this diary began journaling on her sixteenth birthday. She lived in an upper middle class neighborhood in Santa Monica with her mom, dad, and Berkeley-bound older brother. She was a good girl, living a good life...but one party changed everything. One party, where she took one taste--and liked it. Really liked it. Social drinking and drugging lead to more, faster, harder... She convinced herself that she was no different from anyone else who liked to party. But the evidence indicates otherwise: Soon she was she hanging out with an edgy crowd, blowing off school and everything she used to care about, all to find her next high. But what goes up must come down, and everything--from her first swig, to her last breath--is chronicled in the diary she left behind. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
