In this book
A girl name Kristina is
Average




Normal











A good student
Until
She's introduced to 'the monster'
At first it was great
Getting high
She felt










On top of the world












Almost all the way to heaven


Until she












Crashed


And she felt
Like there was no happiness left in her
And the only thing that could make her feel better
Was more
Crank

'The monster' took control of Kristina's life
She was hooked
Crank on the way to school
Skip a few classes to get some crank
Crank when I got home
Crank before bed
Crank
It was all she could think about

Until one day she finds out that she's pregnant
This takes her, already complicated, life
And flips it completely upside down
Know she knew she had to break the addiction
And she did
It was hard
But if it made her baby healthier she had to do it
Being a mom was hard for her
Although she wasn't controlled by crank anymore
It was always in the back of her mind
Calling to her
But she didn't give in

This is a great book. Read the Sequel Glass. It's good too. But really frustrating.
