Glass

"Glass" by Ellen Hopkins is the sequel to another Ellen Hopkins book, "Crank" that follows a girl's adventures after she gives birth to her first child. As much as she wants to stay away from the horrible monster called meth and take care of her baby properly, she can't bring herself to stay away. After reading "Crank", I immediately fell in love with Ellen Hopkins' books! I wanted to read the sequel to it, so I checked this one out and loved it as well!

Following the events of "Crank", 17-year-old Kristina Snow, also known as Bree, has a baby boy named Hunter and stayed off of the monster for a while to take care of herself and the baby. However, one day after a few months, she lies to her family and crawls back into her meth addiction. There, she meets Trey, the love of her life. After all of these events, Kristina gets kicked out of her home after Hunter got hurt when she fell asleep. Her parents were granted full custody of her own child. She then lived with Trey's cousin and his two daughters, where she gets kicked out again when the mother of the girls comes back. Kristina then gets many more bombshells in her life that will change the way she lived it forever.

One of the things I loved about this book is that it was written in poem form and in a unique way than most 600+ page books are written. I also love that it goes into detail about the dangerous life of a person who does meth. There weren't many things I didn't like about it, mostly because all of Ellen Hopkins' books are amazing! I recommend this to anyone who likes to read books about intense teen troubles. However, it does have things that aren't so suitable for people who can't handle things like swearing, sexual references, etc. Other that that, amazing book!

Note: This book does have 681 pages, but you'll fly through it since the pages are short.
