Glass by Ellen Hopkins


What do you do when your son, is a product of rape? When your father left your family for meth? When your sister's girlfriend hates you? When your addicted to crank? There's one answer for Kristina/Bree. You do more drugs.

Kristina, before the meth, was ok. She hadn't met Adam, or Chase. She hadn't gotten raped by Brendan. She didn't have a son, Hunter, to care for. But when she started doing drugs, her addiction (the monster) takes over. Her ego is now called Bree. Bree talks to her. Bree is smart and cunning. She then meets Trent, another addict. They then fall in love. Kristina/Bree ends up getting kicked out of her house, because her mother knows about it all. Trent and her live with Trent's cousin, Brad. Brad is also an addict, his wife Angela left him for awhile. He has two daughters, who Kristina ends up nannying, because she is fired from 7-11. Angela ends up coming back, and Trent leaves because he has to go back to college, where he hooks up with diffrent girls. Kristina deals drugs just to get money. Trent comes back, and they buy an apartment. Kristina brings her son, Hunter to live with them, but ends up giving him back to her mom, and her mom's boyfriend, Scott, and Jake, his son.
Kristina and Trent move out, and they are on the run. They get caught, and..... READ IT!

I thought this was probably the best book ever. It's told like a true drug addict, and thats the best part, because you know exactly what Kristina is thinking. The plot is also good. Trying to love her son, and meth are very hard for her. It's sad though. I chose this book because, AMBER BECKER, SKYLAR KEIFFER, and EMILY BAILEY reccomended them to me. I'd rate this book 15 out of 5.
