Kristi...more Kristina
Georgia Snow is the perfect daughter: gifted high school junior,
quiet, never any trouble. But on a trip to visit her absentee father,
Kristina disappears and Bree takes her place. Bree is the exact
opposite of Kristina -- she's fearless.

Through a boy, Bree meets the monster: crank. And what begins as a wild, ecstatic ride turns into a struggle through hell for her mind, her soul -- her life.

What I thought: Well I really don't know what to say here. I know a lot of people didn't like this book because of the writing style but for me this book was a five star for me. I loved the story and all of the heart wrenching twist and
turns. Her father is the most worthless peice of crap I have ever heard
of. It seems thru the book that Kristina never feels like she is worth
anything...she doesn't feel like she lives up to the image of her
sister the tall gorgeous lesbian....the impression I got is that her mom
loves the fact that she is a lesbian cause she doesn't have to worry
about her coming home pregnant. It's to the point that Kristina feels
the need to apologize for falling in love with a boy. Kristina had
never had a boyfriend before and doesn't really know how to act with
Buddy/Adam until Bree takes over. Bree is fun loving, carefree and
fearless while Kristina is shy, smart, and well kind of afraid of
everything. She always wants to do the right thing while Bree always
wants to do the reckless thing. When Kristina comes home he life starts
spinning out of control. She loses touch with her best friends because
as crazy as it sounds Bree finds them boring. She struggles to get
back to her old life that she loved so much but Bree always seems to be
in the way. She starts fighting with her mom all the time and her
step-dad tries to help but he can't seem to get anywhere. He is the
first one to realize that Kristina has a real problem. Kristina finds a
guy who really cares for her but is it her he loves or is it Bree.
