The Reading Picnic

Ellen Hopkins never fails to impress and write a book you can't put down. This for me, was one of the hardest to read. Not because the language was hard or anything, simply because we have followed Kristina for what feels like for SO. LONG. We watched her fall into the grasp of the Monster and find out she was pregnant. We watched her meet Trey and get hooked on Glass. We read and followed it all, and got emotionally invested in her life. It was so hard to read to how FAR she had fallen and how her children saw her. Stories all kind of came together here and this book was so enticing and amazing I couldn't put it down. I also found myself with so much sympathy for Kristina. Either way, Hopkins didn't disappoint and I wish there could be more in this trilogy.
