Kristina Georgia Snow

Kristina is a regular teenager that is growing up in the town of Reno. Before she goes to visit her dad in Albuquerque she was a good student and had a few really close friends. While visiting her dad tho she met Adam, a boy that she took interest in when she first seen him. Adam is well known in Albuquerque for drugs and so is Kristina's dad. Adam introduced Kristina to weed and she enjoyed it, but not as much as she enjoyed crank for the first time. She was at the bowling ally that her dad worked at with Adam when they agreed to get high. When Kristina returned home she returned with a split personality, Kristina was the good girl that did what she was told and Bree was the bad half of her that wanted the drugs, the experimenter.

When Kristina returned home she was a different person. Kristina was at her step dads company picnic when she met Brenden and Chase. Brenden was a lifeguard at the water park and Chase is the school bully. They were both into drugs and Kristina liked that about them. Brenden and Chase would take Kristina out to parties, drive her to school and buy her the drugs. Kristina became very attached to these two boys and was hardly thinking about Adam. Brenden would take things to far tho one night when Kristina and him were on a moonlight date in the Field just off the side of an abandoned road outside of town. Kristina and Brenden were getting high and Brenden started taking her clothes off and she said stop but he didn't.

After the incident she met Trent's sister Robyn who also smoked up and they two of them became really close friends. Kristina would pick up off of Robyn whenever she needed. Kristina was no longer a good student she spent all her free time smoking cigarettes and getting high nothing else really mattered. Kristina was also taking it out on her family sometimes. Causing fights and arguing which she never did before she went to her dads.

Blog #1 initial reaction

This book keeps drawing me in more and more every time I read it. Its getting harder and harder to put the book down. The book is not written like any other book, it is writtin in verse almost like a bunch of poems, but better.

This book is about a teenage girl who lives with her mom step dad sister and brother. Kristina is the middle child and she does well in school not straight A's but she knows her stuff. Her mom wants to write a book and her step dad over works. Older sister is a lesbian and her little brother is a spoiled little kid. She decides to go visit her dad for three weeks in Albuquerque over the summer holidays. While visiting her dad she meets a boy named Adam (aka buddy) and she ends up falling for him and he gets her to try weed and coke and gets her into ciggaretts.

When Kirstina returned she returned home she brought someone with her, a person on the inside she called Bree. Bree was the one that wanted the ciggaretts, weed, the coke. Bree is the one that wanted to do all the drugs and hit on the cute boys, she wasn't affraid to do anything. Bree is the one causing all the problem's with Kristina's life.

If you went away to visit a family member doesnt have to be your dad and you met a cute boy or girl that was mixed up in drugs would you get hooked on the stuff yourself just to get closer to them???? Do you think what she did was a good idea or a bad idea????
