A review by jkenna1990
Tilt by Ellen Hopkins
4.0
This book is about three teens who are holding tight to the last vestiges of their childhood. Mikayla is sure she's found the love of her life in Dylan. But by the end of her senior year, things have become increasingly complicated. Shane is out and proud but can he keep his life under control in the face of the ultimate loss? Harley is a good girl with a not so great home life. She wants to have new experiences but doesn't expect for the outcome to be so horrific.
If you have ever read any of Ellen Hopkins' other books then you know what you're in for. But if you haven't just know that this book will rip your heart out in seven different ways. There are no happy endings and no nice clean wrap up at the end of the book. The book just ends (after 603 pages). For me, these books have always shown what life can be like and how the choices that you make can affect the rest of your life. They always come with a good lesson buried inside them but you will have to read a lot of sad and sometimes enraging stuff to get to it. If you are fan of realistic fiction then I think this book would be a good choice for you.
