Set during the 1980's, Jane is the new girl at school. Clever, bright and beautiful, she soon immerses herself completely into the stoner crowd, whose overriding interests seem limited to partying like it’s 1999. Before long her life is completely out of control. Parents and teachers seem oblivious to the comings and goings of the increasingly self-destructive teen as she progresses from a bit of weed and booze to LSD, and before long the nice girl next door has become an addict whose life is passing by in a blur. Done in the style of a teenager’s diary, “Call Me Jane” lays out the dark side of what it was to be a teenager during the 80's, and though it is actually the second in the trilogy it shed a lot of light on things I didn't get when I read “The Dark Lake”. Can’t wait to read the third book so I can put the entire story together!
