    Are Colby and I the same person?! Same birthday, same choice to be Batman (not Batwoman) at age 4. Identity theft is not a joke, people!

    This feels like Dexter and Mr. & Mrs. Smith had a baby.

    RATING (BASED ON PERSONAL SCALE): 1.50/5 – Meh. Forgettable. → Characters blur together once I move on.

    MY TAKE: REAR-BASED MESSAGING WITH REAL—BUT LIMITED—IMPACT

    THOUGHTS & FEELS: I read this as a teenager, when it was still presented as a real diary, and that framing did a lot of the heavy lifting.

    At the time, it felt intense and cautionary. Looking back now, it feels manipulative.

    To be honest, it did make me more careful. It made me pause, think twice, and be more aware of risk. But it didn’t stop me from experimenting altogether, and I think that’s an important distinction. The book didn’t educate so much as it warned, and fear only goes so far.

    Looking back as an adult, the lack of nuance stands out. Drug use is portrayed as an almost immediate, irreversible spiral, with little room for complexity, support, or recovery. The message feels less about understanding addiction and more about frightening teens into compliance.

    Knowing now that the diary wasn’t actually written by a teenage girl, but constructed and edited by an adult with a specific agenda, reframes the entire experience. It explains the exaggeration and moral panic tone, and why the book relies on shock instead of honesty.

    I don’t regret reading it when I did. It clearly had an impact. But I do question whether fear was ever the most responsible way to talk to teenagers about drugs.

    BOTTOM LINE: A book that relies on fear and sensationalism rather than honesty, memorable for its impact, but troubling in how it frames addiction, youth, and truth.
