Crank by Ellen Hopkins
5.0

I first read this book all the way back in 8th grade and decided to re-read Hopkins’ books as an adult.

The best part is the way this book is written. It’s truly an ~experience.~The poems themselves dive deep into Kristina/Bree’s innermost thoughts while the pictures the prose makes up add extra context or insight.

This is a great read. It’s all things at once — sad, happy, hopeful, melancholy, etc. It doesn’t read like some devotional warning about the dangers of drugs. It reads like the mind of a 17 year old girl who is way over her head.
