Her name is not Alice!!!


The anonymous "author" of this diary is not named Alice. In fact, the name of the teenage girl was never disclosed - that's why it says "Anonymous". There is a character named Alice in the diary, but she is an insignificant acquaintance of the writer.

The character's names in the story are changed anyway. Names of people and places were changed.

It's a fictional book, y'all. They lied to make it seem scarier for kids so they'd keep off drugs.

All the movie did for me was make drugs look more enticing and mysterious!

I kinda agree..

thank you that was annoying cause i know she doesn't have a name but every where i look every one assumes her name is alice cause of the title the girl in the story is the Narrator and the Narrator doesn't ever have a name.

reply

Um, I think her name was Carla. Cause in the book she said about having sex and then this kid in the room with her and the guy would be like "He cant come right now, he's humping Carla."

It has to do with the Jefferson Airplane song "White Rabbit" about Alice in Wonderland.

reply

Thank god someone else knows that. The songs about a drug trip, sorta. Hence, go ask alice should be the name of a book/movie about a girl with a drug addiction (even though there is speculation that the girl who wrote the diary never existed and the whole thing was made up). Oh well. Nice tie in to pop culture.
