Glass by Ellen Hopkins

Crank. Glass. Ice. Crystal. Whatever you call it, it's all the same: a monster. And once it's got hold of you, this monster will never let you go.


Kristina thinks she can control it. Now with a baby to care for, she's determined to be the one deciding when and how much, the one calling the shots. But the monster is too strong, and before she knows it, Kristina is back in its grips. She needs the monster to keep going, to face the pressures of day-to-day life. She needs it to feel alive.



again the monster takes over Kristina's life and she will do anything for it, including giving up the one person who gives her the unconditional love she craves — her baby.


The sequel to Crank, this is the continuing story of Kristina and her descent back to hell. Told in verse, it's a harrowing and disturbing look at addiction and the damage that it inflicts. – source – back of my copy of GLASS

I absolutely loved how Ellen Hopkins pulls the reader back into the story. Once the monster has its say, Kristina/Bree cannot say no, no matter how hard she tries. As much as I wanted Kristina to step up and be a mother, I understand the pressure of being a young mother. I would recommend this sequel to anyone who needs to feel/read/see what happens when a drug takes over and you lose all control.
