The book I read was Glass by Ellen Hopkins (book number two of three.) I read the entire book (681 pages.) The summary is of a girl named Kristina who is hooked on meth again. She was clean for a little while but one bad choice kick started the bad habit again. Now her life is spinning out of control. Kristina gets thrown out of her mother's house, her mom gains custody of her child, and Kristina can't seem to fix her life. Next, she falls in love with a guy named Trey; they move in together and try to work things out between them. At the end of the book they end up in jail for trafficking and possessing drugs and forging checks. I liked this book but it wasn't as eventful as I had hoped. I think the reason she wrote this was to let people have a glimpse of what some people go through. The theme is how hard it is to quit drugs. The best character is Kristina, because you got to know her the most and see how she tried hard to change things. A quote from the book is: "I'm allowed a call. Need to call someone, let them know where I am. What's happened. But who? Mom? Don't think so..." That quote shows you how she doesn't have a good relationship with her family and how it hurts her in the end. My only question is, what happens now that they are in jail?
