Main Idea

Theme of this book is the effects drugs can have on a person. The book indicates this theme  very early with the opening passage , that was a message from the publisher, thanking the family for allowing them to use her diary, so that no family would ever have to go through, the lost of someone due to drugs. Then is further expressed with the story of her life during the time she was using. Such as, she talks about how her thought process was, which was when can I get high, on what, and how soon. Then when she got her "fix" for a lack of a better term, she just wanted to know when she could get this feeling again.
