Book Description

Sep 11 2012
Love—good and bad—forces three teens’ worlds to tilt in a riveting novel from New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins.

Three teens, three stories—all interconnected through their parents’ family relationships. As the adults pull away, caught up in their own dilemmas, the lives of the teens begin to tilt….

Mikayla, almost eighteen, is over-the-top in love with Dylan, who loves her back jealously. But what happens to that love when Mikayla gets pregnant the summer before their senior year—and decides to keep the baby?

Shane turns sixteen that same summer and falls hard in love with his first boyfriend, Alex, who happens to be HIV positive. Shane has lived for four years with his little sister’s impending death. Can he accept Alex’s love, knowing that his life, too, will be shortened?

Harley is fourteen—a good girl searching for new experiences, especially love from an older boy. She never expects to hurdle toward self-destructive extremes in order to define who she is and who she wants to be.

Love, in all its forms, has crucial consequences in this standalone novel.

Review

"This will be recognizable territory to anyone who has read Hopkins’ earlier novels. . . . As a cautionary tale, however, this offers helpful insights into the continuing presence of HIV in teen lives and the urgency of making better choices in matters involving sex."--Booklist

"Brimming with shoes about to drop (some do, some don’t) and the drama her fans devour . . ."--Kirkus Reviews

"Graphic, bitingly honest, and voluminous verse." (SLJ)

"By turns poised and visceral." (The Horn Book Guide)

5.0 out of 5 stars Graet novel Mar 27 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This novel, as all of Ellen Hopkins' novels are, was fabulous. The style of writing (in poetry stanzas) is unique. It is easy to read, and very enjoyable. She touches on many issues in our daily life. It was great as a companion novel to "Triangles" but also a great stand-alone book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing but confusing Sep 12 2012
By Mary Ann Downing - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a huge Ellen Hopkins fan. I devour her books the way to do a bag of cookies...I can't stop unit the bag is empty (or the book is finished.) She is that compulsive a read. Having read all her other books, I am accustomed to her multi-story line format involving three of four main characters whose stories intersect. TILT is no different. This time around we have nearly 18-year-old Mikayla who is sure her love for her boyfriend is so strong that nothing can break it. Thirteen-year-old Harley is caught in the most awkward of situations, halfway between childhood and teenhood, with her off-and-on dad marrying a woman that appears to understand Harley better than her own mother. Then there is Shane, experiencing his first love with HIV positive Alex. All these characters are compelling and you care about what happens to them.
What prevented me from awarding this book my usual 5 stars is the plethora of secondary characters who have their own stories. All of these characters are interconnected in some way...blood relatives, friends, friends of friends. Not only that, but each of the parents of the three main characters have their own dramas. Breaking with her usual form of telling the story through the first person characters of her main characters, this time Hopkins let's everyone have their say. Helpfully, the book designer reminds us that these are "outside observers" by placing their chapters on greyed paper. After awhile with all the cousins, and aunts and uncle, boyfriends and girlfriends, and a posse of friends for each of the characters, I began to wish the book had included a dramatis personae to keep them all straight.
Additionally, Hopkins covers a ton of hot button topics...teen HIV, pregnancy, euthanasia, abortion, casual sex, drug use and drinking,adoption and a search for a birth parent, plus both teen and adult infidelity. Whew! I love Hopkins' writing, but perhaps there was just a little too much crammed into this one. I blew through this in four hours (starting the second it downloaded to my Kindle), so now I am going to re-read it, more slowly, to see if I can keep all the characters straight. However, if you are a Hopkins fan, you will not be disappointed.
Also a word of warning if you are reading this in the Kindle version. A lot of the meaning of Hopkins work comes from the way the verse is arranged on the page. Not only is this feature mostly missing in the Kindle version, tI can tell there are a whole words and phrases left out. This is really reading between the lines.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it Jan 29 2013
By brianna - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I gave this book 4 stars because like all of Ellens books, it's a masterpiece, both in the story itself and the poetry in the writing. I couldn't wait to read it, and once I got it in my hands I just drank it in. But it seems like there wasn't any real closure in the end. Not like a cliff hanger, but more of an unfinished thought. Either way though the book was great! And I loved it :) <3 <3 <3 I would definitely recommend it to teens over the age of at least 16 our 17

It was a wonderful read, although I wish she would've gone deeper into the story regarding Mikki and what she was planning on doing with her daughter.
