It Happened to Nancy: By an Anonymous Teenager, A True Story from Her Diary
This is the "diary" of Nancy, a teenager who was raped by a 24-year-old and got the HIV virus, which soon morphed into AIDS.It's depressing (no duh) to see a 16-year-old suffer from rectal ulcers and stuff. I guess that's the reality of AIDS.Personally, I'm a little doubtful of thinking that this is an actual diary. The "Editor" is Dr. Beatrice Sparks, who also "edited" Go Ask Alice, which I've read. I also read excerpts from some other book of hers. Point is, every diary author has the same fucking voice. It's some happy-go-lucky or cheerful chick who has something horrible happen to her, but is all like "oh I will prevail, I will not be miserable," blah blah blah. And/or they become terribly confused and act stupid. And Nancy, if she's real, has very annoying entries. I know the girl has AIDS and everything, and I should feel sorry for her, but damn. Several times I wanted to smack this girl.
