Crank, Glass, and Fallout...Ellen Hopkins Series

Throughout the past couple of months I have been reading a series of books from my favorite novelist Ellen Hopkins. The three books in the series are Crank, Glass, and Fallout which are loosely based on Hopkins' daughter's story and her addiction to crystal meth. The first two books are in the perspective of the main character Kristina and the third takes place 19 years later in the perspective of Kristina's children.
Overall I enjoyed the first two books the most only because you've had the perspective of this one character the whole time then it gets switched up on you, but the third on is still good. All of Ellen's books are written in poems, but very understandable and still follow a storyline. They are also all based on teenage struggles therefore appeal mainly to teens and young adults.
Some other books I have read by her are Burned and Impulse which are also really good!
