Crank (The Crank Trilogy)

The #1 New York Times bestselling tale of addiction--the first in the Crank trilogy--from master poet Ellen Hopkins.

Life was good
before I
met
the monster.


After,
life
was great,
At
least

for a little while.

Kristina Snow is the perfect daughter: gifted high school junior, quiet, never any trouble.

Then, Kristina meets the monster: crank. And what begins as a wild, ecstatic ride turns into a struggle through hell for her mind, her soul--her life.

I read thus book back in high school and had to re-read it! It is with such a different perspective that I read it now in my late 20s than when I read it at 13! Such a great book, coming of age, addiction, pregnancy, teenage love and lust. It definitely makes you wonder about the choices we make and how they affect our lives. I've always been interested in drugs and what they do to our bodies, but books like these made me fear drugs as a teenager because I was afraid of needing it so bad like Christina. Everything she experiences throughout the book can be felt on a real level. These is reality to some teenagers. Great read!

I read this because it's on some Nebraska schools banned lists... it was intense. Felt like 20s-young-adult, not teen-young-adult. I didn't even know crank was meth before reading this. It was dark dark dark.
