Tricks | Ellen Hopkins
When all choice is taken from you, life becomes a game of survival. Five teenagers from different parts of the country. Three girls. Two guys. Four straight. One gay. Some rich. Some poor. Some from great families. Some with no one at all. All living their lives as best they can, but all searching . . . for freedom, safety, community, family, love. What they dont expect, though, is all that can happen when those powerful little words, I love you, are said for all the wrong reasons. These are five moving stories that remain separate at first, then weave together to tell a larger, more powerful storya story about making choices, taking leaps of faith, falling down, and growing up. And figuring out what sex and love are all about. TRICKS is informed and inspired by living near Las Vegasa big teen prostitution sceneand by the fact that teen prostitution is not exclusively the result of kids running away from abuse. Kids from better families are selling themselves for hefty sums in order to finance addictions or even just to buy jewelry or clothing. In some cases, parents prostitute their children for the same reason. So what happens to the kids who are asking themselves, and asking us, Can I ever feel OK about myself? Highly charged, TRICKS is a gripping experience that turns you on and repels you at the same time.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I must have read this one six times by now. I'll never get sick of the way she writes. So easy to fly through a book in one sitting.

Ellen Hopkins can capture a character and their moments in simple prose in a way some authors cannot achieve with whole books. Tricks is haunting and poignant and it achieves it goal of making you feel filthy yet full of hope for redemption.

You know an author is phenomenal when you devour 279 pages in three hours. Hopkins can say more with prose than some authors can do with an entire book.

Ellen hopkins did an amazing job with this book. The 5 different stories were all interesting and they made you really think. I would recommend this to any of my friends that like easy books and a good story about a person's struggle.

So much better than I was expecting. I've known Hopkins' name, but this is the first I've read of hers. I will be reading more.

I thought Ellen would move a little faster than she is, lots of stuff going on in the story and all 5 POV are pretty depressing. Not sure if I'll make it to book 2.
