Crank by Ellen Hopkins
Finally deciding to visit her absentee biological father, she travels away to New Mexico to see him for the first time in eight years. She goes through changes there, and even creates an alter-ego in her subconscious, whom she refers to as Bree. She is introduced to "crank" (methamphetamine), or the "monster", by a boy, and then is thrown into an addiction that dissolves the Kristina, and makes her become Bree. Bree is her exact opposite, and is daring. Bree is the one that makes all the choices, but it seems Bree is what she names as her hidden desires, passions, and wants as a teenage girl. Bree leads Kristina to the point of self-destruction, but a few people in the book are able to keep her surviving at different times. Her father, seems to be an antagonistic force in the book, as he does crank with Kristina her first time.
As the book progresses, it becomes clear how much the monster is changing her. She lashes out at her family uncontrollably. She changes her social clique completely. At one point, she is raped by one of her "friends" and becomes pregnant with his child. As her friends and family watch in shock, Kristina desperately tries to beat her addiction but 'Crank' is never far behind.
Kristina has three boyfriends during the book. The first is Adam ("Buddy"), whom she met while visiting her father. Adam is dating a girl named Lince, and betrays her by seeing Bree/Kristina. He introduces Kristina to the monster in a bowling alley. They fall in love, and he claims he will love Kristina forever, though they drift apart as the book progresses mainly because she is back in her hometown and because Adam is back together with Lince. He appears several time later in the book, but only through letters and phone calls, but towards the end, Kristina ends communication with him. Then Kristina runs into Brendan once she gets home. Brendan is the "good boy" who turns out to be unexpectedly bad. At one low point when Kristina is desperate for more crank, Brendan rapes her in exchange for it, and leaves her pregnant with his child. Kristina's final boyfriend is Chase Wagner, the "bad boy" who is also not particularly attractive, but who does turns out to be unexpectedly kind and loving.
