Customer Reviews

Excellent Book

I first picked this book off my best friends bookcase in the late 80's and have loved it ever since. I have reread it several times as an adult and other than the drugs they use being out of date, this book stands up. I don't know what it is aboutthis book; maybe just the eternal bad boy/good girl struggle that I love, but I fell in love with Jenny and can absolutely visualize this book unfolding. I'm well into my 30's at this point and it still sits in my book case. A great read for anyone who is a teenager, was a teenager, or will ever be a teenager...

One of the best Young Adult Novels available

I read this book many years ago when it was first published. It still remains one of my favorite books even as an adult. Jenny truly shows the allure of how many adolescents get involved in drugs and then turns around and shows you what it can do to people. At first it seems to glorify the drug use, until Jenny soon realizes how her drug use almost destroys all that she cares about in her life! A must read!

Ask Me If I Care is a must-read for everyone

Ask Me If I Care, by H.B. Gilmour is a must-read by anyone who has ever had any experience in any way around drugs. It tells exactly what it's like being a teenager and being faced with all the dillemas that go along with it. I enjoyed it very much and give it a 5 star rating just because it is the best book I've read in a long time. Anyone who has been in those situations or knows someone personally that has been will be able to relate very well to the perfectly written feelings that Gilmour has relayed to us.
