After reading Tricks, I knew I had to read Traffick! I am a fan of Hopkins writing style. I love how she ends Tricks with the characters at their all-time lows, but shows how even through struggles, they can reach redemption in Traffick.

Day 22: A book that makes you cry
Not one book has moved me to tears yet, but I will say that these stories made my heart ache. Ellen Hopkins does a good job of writing realistic YA fiction novels that are based on very real problems that happen every day. In Tricks and Traffick, Hopkins narrates the lives of a few teenagers that were unfortunately misdirected into human trafficking.

I have yet to read an Ellen Hopkins book that I dont love!
Seems weird to say happy to dive into this one but always happy to pick up some #ellenhopkins. This one can be sometimes hard to read but such an important topic. I support the #enditmovement, check them out if you havent. Human trafficking is a horrible horrible thing that needs to end. Worse, there are so many ways for it to happen. #winterreads #motleychallenge #redcover #ellenhopkins #poetry #verse #darktopics #intensereading
Finished this book within 24 hours and this continuation of Tricks by Ellen Hopkins helps the characters develop and transform. Another item of proof of what a phenomenal writer Hopkins is.
Not quite as good as the first one, but still excellent. I sped through it.
I never expected to care for anyone,
period. I've worked very hard to
avoid it, in fact, which is why
everyone thinks I'm cold. Maybe
I am, but it's because I'm afraid
of getting hurt. Love wasn't meant
for people like you and me. You
have to be strong and brave to fall
in love. And maybe a little stupid.
There are more imperfect diamonds
than flawless stones. So, what
the hell? I'll give it a try, and do
my best to keep moving forward.
Boyfriend keeps spoiling me with the good stuff 💕
As many of Ellen's Hopkins books are, this book is tough to swallow. Beautifully crafted and a wonderful sequel to Tricks, this book holds so much raw emotion and truth inside the pages. I'd still rank this in my bottom three Ellen Hopkins books but that doesn't mean it's not a magnificent book, it's simply the subject matter that makes it hard for me to fall in love with this book. 5/10 for an Ellen Hopkins book, but 7/10 for a book in general.
