Lucy in the Sky is a 2012 book about a Santa Monica middle-class girl who suffers from drug addiction and alcoholism, much to the horror of her preppy brother, Cam, who is torn between loyalty and fear for her safety. The book was published anonymously with no discernible author. Released under various imprints of Simon and Schuster, the book received largely negative reviews from critics, being compared to older predecessor Go Ask Alice, which was also about drug addiction but set more-so around LSD and hippie counterculture. Lucy in the Sky is set in the modern 2000s era.
