Crank

Guys, please, please do not read these. The daughter, who is on YouTube as Cristal Thetford and is trying to get her story out, has stated multiple times that she suffered narcissistic abuse at the hands of her mother. Please go support her and HER story, not her mother's re-telling and guesses through her own perspective. When reading again as an adult, how the mother speaks so highly of herself in her books (In Triangles, you could tell she was projecting herself as Holly) was a red flag to me (hot, sexy, beautiful for her age, amazing chef), and already screamed narcissist to me. The mother takes no accountability or negatively towards herself in the book; she paints herself as an angel. PLEASE go support the real "Kristina", and listen to her own story. While I'm sure "Kristina" had her own wrongdoings, she deserves to speak her truth, and not be painted in a bad light without her consent.

It's been a while since I read a book. Once I started reading this book, I just couldn't put it down. The creative poetry style of writing on nearly every page made it fun and interesting. My family, nearly every close relative I have, had a close relationship with "The Monster". So a lot of this was a familiar subject from a different perspective. So well executed!

Fantastic book that I would recommend to anyone. The author wrote it in such a way that made the book powerful. This was a book I really could never put down and always had to read the next chapter. Overall "Crank" is a lesson/insight on what happens to great people when under the influence of drugs, it can completely turn their life around and make them unrecognizable to everyone, including the people they are closest to.
