A 2012 novel called ''[[Lucy in the Sky (novel)|Lucy in the Sky]]'' was published anonymously, featuring the story of a preppy [[Santa Monica]] student who falls into drug addiction and alcoholism. Critics compared the book with ''Go Ask Alice'' and viewed the 2012 book negatively, considering it a modernized copy of ''Go Ask Alice'' rather than its own story.
