    This novel shows the extreme lengths of negative drug use and what one will do just to feel the sense of belonging. As she struggles to keep sane and grips on to reality, she gets more addicted to drugs. Her journey starts off with drinking a soda laced with LSD and getting drugged by her ‘friends’ at a high school party. At the time she had no clue what was going on but her thoughts seemed to enjoy the feeling she got. “It was so beautiful I could not stand the sight of it.” Her enjoyment of drugs led her to another world of horrible things, but her desperation of being accepted to her new school was far more important in her eyes. “They accepted me like I had always been one of their crowd.” Like most teens fitting in is important and can be very hard at times. I, in all honesty think it is important to fit in and feel accepted. I can see that Alice was just trying to fit in, although she was getting negative peer pressure to do the wrong thing.…
