So I finished Crank, after reading Glass. The ending was really soft. Kristina was talking about her pregnancy and talking in the past tense instead of the present tense the reader got accustomed to.
I just started reading Fallout and it is from a different perspective and 19 years after the conclusions of Glass.
"While
this is the end of the series, it serves as a reminder that there
really is no end to addiction. Whereas the first two books follow
Kristina through her devastating dance with addiction and relapse, this
one takes place years later with her eldest children telling their
stories. There is Hunter, the child born in Crank and adopted by
Kristina's parents (bolstered by the interesting element of dealing with
his grandmother's author-celebrity status, which would indicate that he
was familiar with her previous semi-autobiographical novels). Then
there is Autumn, the "lost" daughter, living with her aunt and
grandfather. Also living with OCD and panic attacks and soon to be
confronted by a past she knows little about. Finally, there is Summer,
jostled in and out of foster care, a notoriously dicey system. She gets
a brief reprieve (?) from the system to live with her father and his
girlfriend.
Three very different teens, dealing with complex
emotional issues all derived from their mother's addiction to the
monster meth. Emotionally raw and painfully realistic, the final
installment to this tragic trilogy is a satisfying stopping place in one
family's on-going saga of addiction and its collateral damage." -Goodreads user
