Is it a phase as her older brother calls it or is it something more? Krista turns to her gay friend Brandon for help and this is when the drama really begins.

New-girl-at-school Krista is befriended by Carrie in dance class and immediately accepted into her circle of friends.

This book had some good reviews and was rated reasonable high on a few polls so I thought I would check it out. ![]() It was November of 2010 that I originally read Amber Lehman’s Torn after finding it on. ![]()
