Reader reviewed by KJ

Kristina is a straight-A, rule following family girl. She has a great life and lots of friends. When Kristina has to go visit her  father, she meets Adam. Adam introduces Kristina (and her new self, Bree) to the world of "the monster".  Kristina's life is in chaos. As her addiction grows, Kristina loses valuable friends, starts doing badly in school, and Bree begins to control her life.

Crank was written in verse so I finished it pretty quickly, but it will stick with me for a long time. I've read every book written by Ellen Hopkins but this one remains,to me ,one of her best. I would recommend this book to people 14 and up, as it deals with a lot of things inappropriate to younger audiences. This is an amazing book, that every teenager should read.
