Title: An obvious fabrication
Product review: Ok, so I read this as a young teen in the mid 70s. At the time, I remember thinking it was such a frightening and realistic account of a young teen's descent into drugs. Albiet, by the time I was a young teen myself and read this for the first time, the 60s tumultuous LSD phase wasn't nearly as prevalent. Nonetheless, I was riveted. I recently found this book in my old stash of books and thought I'd re-read it. At age 44, my take on it is completely different. It doesn't take one long into the book to realize this is most definitely not written by a teenaged girl. The language isn't realistic and the diary seems so fabricated...to the point where I couldn't believe I had actually fallen for it way back when. The book seems silly to me now.
