This book was heartbreaking. The story of Kristina/Bree just gets worse and worse. I hope the real life versions of each character are living good lives now. I will be reading the next one and I have purchased more of Ellen Hopkins’s work.

I think this book was sadder than the first, and that book was devastating.
Glass continues Crank’s accessible insight into addiction and the hold it has on people. It was gut-wrenching to read about how low Kristina was willing to go for her next fix. This is such a sad reality for many people and whilst it is frustrating to read, it is important to understand how drugs can literally take over a person’s entire personality. It’s heartbreaking to think of all the people hurting because of these vile substances and I love that these books raise awareness of this.
Although I’m going to end Kristina’s story here, I would massively recommend these books for anyone wanting to learn more about the risks and long-term effects of addiction. They’re very quick, fast-paced reads because of the poetic format so perfect for younger readers.
