Fallout, By Ellen Hopkins

Fallout, by Ellen Hopkins, is about 3 teenagers who go through life challenges. There is one thing holding them together, their mother. As Summer, Autumn, and Hunter go through their daily lives they begin to learn more and more about each other. Even though they know about each other their lives are very different. Hunter is out of school and he works as a radio dj and lives with his girlfriend. Autumn is still in highschool and she lives with her Aunt Cora. Summer is still in school but she is a foster child. Even with their different lives they still try to find each other.

I liked this book  a lot. This is because it really teaches you not to judge people by what they look like on the outside. By telling you about each of these people’s lives you learn that everyone has a story that shapes how they act and live. I could connect this to real life because I honestly judge a  lot of people by how they look even before I know them.
I would recommend this book to people who like to read realistic fiction novels. It tells you a story about how a family comes together after a horrible tragedy. I would also tell anyone that is an older teen to a young adult to read this book. If I had to give this book a rating I would give it 4 stars because it kept my interest and made me want to read more and more.
I think you should read this book because you will not want to put it down after you read the first word.
