Alice is sick of her family, and feels that they are constantly nagging her. She has made no new friends since she and her family have moved. Because of this, her mother allows her to spend the summer in her old town with her grandparents. There she gets invited to a party where she accidentally takes LSD after someone puts it in her drink. After that she is constantly doing drugs, and feels that the world without drugs is "a prodding, colorless dissonant bare existence" (p. 89). Because of drugs she runs away twice, and is constantly taking drugs.
