Tilt by Ellen Hopkins
3.0
3.75 ⭐️This is my first Ellen Hopkins book, and wow. The characters were so real to me, as were their circumstances and struggles. Sexuality, HIV, teen pregnancy, suicide, and growing up. They are the unpleasant, dirty things that not a lot of people talk about. But Ellen Hopkins did talk about it, and she did a damn good job.
Alex was such a loveable character, and his relationship with Shane was beautiful. I had an emotional connection with Harley, especially. She reminded me of myself at 13-15, which wasn’t a good time. Her going into high school and trying to discover herself, be someone she’s not, do things she’s not ready to do.
I love the free verse style of writing, and Ellen Hopkin’s writing in general is great. It’s to the point but it’s also lyrical. I will definitely be reading more by this author.
