Crank by Ellen Hopkins

My Rating: 5 stars

Warning: Rated PG-13

Crank is the first book I read by Ellen Hopkins. At first, I thought it was absolutely strange. But as I continued reading, I got addicted. It is written in a poem format, about a girl who meets a guy and gets pulled in by “the monster”­– crank. Drugs. Kristina realizes that she’s addicted, and doesn’t care. Drugs may make her life easier, but they also make her life crazier. She starts acting like her alter ego: “Bree”. In the end, Kristina has to face the facts. Crank is taking over her life.
