Story
Life at 15 isn't easy for a girl if she's shy and hates the way she looks. Each day is heaven or hell, depending on who talks to her, or who doesn't. So when she's finally accepted by a group, she doesn't refuse their party games, even if it means taking LSD. Soon she's taking little pills to wake up and others to go to sleep, and the days begin to blur. Based on a 15-year-old's diary, Go Ask Alice is the intimate account of one girl's fatal journey into the world of drug addiction.

Story
People kill people. Guns just make it easier. A gun is sold in the classifieds after killing a spouse, bought by a teenager for needed protection. But which was it? Each has the incentive to pick up a gun, to fire it. Was it Rand or Cami, married teenagers with a young son? Was it Silas or Ashlyn, members of a white supremacist youth organization? Daniel, who fears retaliation because of his race, who possessively clings to Grace, the love of his life? Or Noelle, who lost everything after a devastating accident, and has sunk quietly into depression?

Matthew Turner doesn't have faith in anything. Not in family - his is a shambles after his younger brother was bullied into suicide. Not in so-called friends who turn their backs when things get tough. Not in some all-powerful creator who lets too much bad stuff happen. And certainly not in some "It Gets Better" psychobabble. No matter what his girlfriend Hayden says about faith and forgiveness, there's no way Matt's letting go of blame.

Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At 17 she's already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she's learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don't have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie's heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.

But when Noah Hutchins, the smoking-hot, girl-using loner in the black leather jacket, explodes into her life with his tough attitude and surprising understanding, Echo's world shifts in ways she could never have imagined.

Story
Ramona was only five years old when Hurricane Katrina changed her life forever. Since then it's been Ramona and her family against the world. Standing over six feet tall, with unmistakable blue hair, Ramona is sure of three things: She likes girls, she's fiercely devoted to her family, and she knows she's destined for something bigger than the trailer she calls home in Eulogy, Mississippi. But juggling multiple jobs, her flaky mom, and her well-meaning but ineffectual dad forces her to be the adult of the family.

Jonas needs Tate. He just doesn't know it yet. Or at least he doesn't want to admit it. Because there is no way Jonas Ashcroft is gay. He's a straight, carefree frat boy player, just like any good son of a conservative state senator. If only his struggle to convince everyone - especially himself - didn't leave him so miserable. No matter how many girls or bottles he drowns himself in, Jonas can neither escape nor accept who he is.

Everything about 15-year-old Cat's new town in rural Michigan is lonely and off-kilter until she meets her neighbor, the manic, beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat, inexperienced and desperate for connection, is quickly lured into Marlena's orbit by little more than an arched eyebrow and a shake of white-blond hair. As the two girls turn the untamed landscape of their desolate small town into a kind of playground, Cat catalogues a litany of firsts - first drink, first cigarette, first kiss - while Marlena's habits harden and calcify.

The words on the page jumbled into a toxic mess my brain refused to comprehend, much less accept. Please consider this letter as a formal request to arrange a paternity test (DNA). I barely remembered Chelsea Airy. That wasn't true - we'd gone out once, and we'd been friends for a while after. But I hadn't heard so much as a peep from her since I'd gotten married. I'd reached out a handful of times, but she'd quit responding and fell off the face of the earth.

Not in so-called friends who turn their backs when things get tough. Not in some all-powerful creator who lets too much bad stuff happen. And certainly not in some "It Gets Better" psychobabble. No matter what his girlfriend Hayden says about faith and forgiveness, there's no way Matt's letting go of blame.

Each honest discussion and disclosure, whether joyful or heartbreaking, is completely different from the other because of family dynamics, living situations, gender, and the transition these teens make in recognition of their true selves.

This book, just wasn't quite my cup of tea. It was ok, and it did tell me about the addict, but this type of book, is not my usual. It was well written, however and most people may like it.

I love this book
This is an amazing hard copy read, but I feel like the voice could have been performed a bit better to really portray the deeper meaning. It seemed as though the reader didn’t portray the dark moments as well as if you read it yourself, but all in all the story is amazing because I love all of Ellens books and I am thankful they have it on audio now!

Amazing! :)
Would you consider the audio edition of Crank to be better than the print version?
No, because I haven't read the book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Crank?
When she gets raped and when she finds out Brendan is the father to her baby.
What does Laura Flanagan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her voice compliments the character she's portraying.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It didn't make me laugh or cry, but there was a moment or two where my jaw dropped.
Any additional comments?
Overall this was a very good book, and I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this series
Definitely geared towards a YA audience, but deals with very intense, serious issues like drugs, rape and teen pregnancy. Follows the story of Christina Snow as she goes from being a promising teen to middle-aged mother. The third book really views life from the perspective of Christina's kids.
The narrator's speaking pace in books one and two is extremely annoying. She..... pauses.... like, all the time. In an effort.... to create.... the sound... of a hesitant teenager's voice. But its really annoying and..... often the pauses..... are inappropriately timed.
The drug use and its descriptions are hard core. The characters are relatable but not - like a kid or two I knew from around school but didn't really know. I was sad at the end of the third book to not know how everyone will end up.
Hopkins books are kind of formulaic and soap-opera-ish, but they are easy to listen to and the stories are compelling enough. I like the drama and the characters are easy to care about.

Bree. She's very saucy!
Which character – as performed by Laura Flanagan – was your favorite?
Kristina. At first I didn't like her as Kristina (In my head she sounded very different), but I soon came around. She does a great job!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Unfortunately I could not, but I returned when I could.
Any additional comments?
Awesome story!

the book in itself was riveting & keep me drawn in . but the narrator was robotic almost . it was hard to keep listening in the beginning.
