Burned by Ellen Hopkins

My Rating: 5 stars Warning: Rated PG-13 Burned is definitely my other favorite book by Hopkins. This book is about Pattyn, a teenage Mormon girl who hates the way her life is. She is constantly taking care of her younger sisters, having to deal with her crazy drunk father, and irritating mother. Pattyn starts to […]

Identical by Ellen Hopkins

My Rating: 4 stars Warning: Rated PG-13 Identical was a pretty good book with a weird and confusing ending. This book is about two twins who live with their abusive father.

All five of them, Eden, Seth, Whitney, Ginger, and Cory live their lives differently, but somehow fall into a […]

Kristina finally gets off drugs and for a good reason. Her son. She wishes to be like a real mother, loving and caring for her child. But […]

Impulse by Ellen Hopkins

My Rating: 5 stars Warning: Rated PG-13 Impulse is definitely my favorite book by Ellen Hopkins. This book isn’t on the brightest of topics. It is about three teenagers – Connor, Vanessa, and Tony – who tried to commit suicide. All three of them are moved to a home for counseling and therapy. They all […]
