Glass, by Ellen Hopkins

Glass, by Ellen Hopkins, is about a girl named Kristina who goes by the name Bree but only when she is chasing her addiction which is crystal meth. "Bree" has a son named Hunter who is soon taken away from her by her mother. Bree soon leaves with her new boyfriend Trey who is also an addict. They soon run into trouble with the police and from there its a new rollercoaster with her new boyfriend Trey when she finds out she is pregnant with his baby.

I liked that she is this girl who was never the way she is now. She builds her life for her son and then in the matter of seconds it comes crashing down the second she tries a new drug. I believe a lot of young adults would considering they can go down this road if they made a choice to do so but with this book they can stop a wrong decision from happening if they saw it from another persons views. To me, this book is inspiring because it does show you the consequences of your own choices.
