A riveting first-person tale of addiction, in the tradition of Go 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.

"This book was pretty good and quick read but was not great. It was not really my type of book but it was pretty interesting to read about all the things we hear about happening but never really see (and don't necessarily want to see). Lucy was an interesting character that seemed very real as she did not think she was perfect and at first, felt bad for giving into her friend's peer pressure and she wanted to change her ways but it was easier for her to give in. I didn't really like the characters : both their personalities and their choices were not very admirable. As much as the perspective in this book talked about how fun and cool everything that happened was, it only made it all seem more dangerous and bad to me especially because of the way their seductions over came them, even when they got help. This book would be a good recomendation for someone who was having difficulty making good choices, to help them see just how bad one little bad choice could be."

"OH MY GOODNESS IM IN LOVE!!!!! This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. And it's a short read!! Such a good book with riveting twists and surprises. If you love dark, suspenseful, sad, teen books, Lucy in the Sky will be just your cup of tea!"
