Crank

Crank is a great novel and I believe the first one I ever experienced reading in poem verses as well. When I found out it's a fictional story loosely based around Hopkins own daughter, it made the story all the more important. Addiction is tough and can happen to anyone, including your own self or someone amongst your family/friends. It brought out a feeling in me that made me hope for good outcomes as I felt very invested in our main character which any book that can do that for me is great. Also it's a book to remind myself that reading can be such an immersive experience.
