This is a good book, but as the title suggests, it deals with a fight with drugs, rape, and pregnancy while addicted on crank. But it is still a great book.
Life was good before I met the monster. After, life was great, at least for a little while.
Kristina is the perfect daughter: gifted high school junior, quiet, never any trouble. Then she meets the monster: crank. And what begins as a wild ride turns into a struggle for her mind, her soul--her life.
PAGE EXCERPT:
Before Bree
that would never have happened.
Whatever she'd done to me,
for me, and basically
in spite of me,
she'd given me a whole
new sense of self.
I never knew
I could play the vamp,
do it so well, flirt
with total aplomb,
and not only that, but
look good doing it.
Before Bree I never
knew such sheer, depraved
forwardness could
be so much fun.
So I went with it,
jumped right into the role
of shameless flirt.
Girls responded
with pointed whispers,
haughty laughter and, as
I myself have often done,
with evil eyes.
Bree, of course, couldn't
car less. In fact she thrived
on any and all attention.
Guys responded
to that with solid
once-overs, come-on smiles, and
in Brendan the lifeguard's case,
with phone numbers.
