Fallout by Ellen Hopkins
4.0
4.5 stars
In a span of one week, I have finally finished the entire Crank series. This series was absolutely amazing, and I grew to absolutely fall in love with all of the main characters, especially Kristina/Bree.
"Fallout" is the last book in this series, and is actually about the authors predictions of how the kids of Kristina will live. This book takes place around nineteen years in the future, and is told from the point of view of Kristina's first three kids; Hunter, Autumn, and Summer. As the story progresses, each of their backstories weave Kristina's story, and they are drawn together by her as the book nears its' end.
This story is heartbreaking for a different reason than the first two. Since this story is not told from Kristina's POV, you see her the way others in her life view her, and sometimes it just seems so unfair! You know the reason she did what she did, and I didn't agree with the way soem people judged her in the book, which sent a really powerful message about what's on the surface and how people really judge what they don't know.
My edition also had a letter from the real "Kristina" talking about her addiction, which I felt was really powerful.
I just loved this series so much, and however many problems I know she caused for herself and others around her, I know I will always miss Kristina.
