This was a book that I would recommend that parents read.  I have a son that is going to be thirteen this year and reading this reminded me of the things I went through as a teenager.I have to admit that I was amazed at how much Torn touched on and the reactions of the characters.  Krista is a fourteen year old girl that as little to no parental supervision.  With that being said, it really didn't surprise me that sex and drugs were a prevelant thing.  I personally know what I was into at this age and let's just say Krista and I have a lot in common.Brandon was a character that I felt a connection with.  He is confident in who he is and I think that is why Krista sought him out for his assistance.  I know a lot of teenagers experimented in high school so the things that Carrie and Krista did were not shocking to me.  This story flowed well and even though I wish some of the adult males involved in the story would have been held accountable for their actions and/or lack of involvement with supervision, it was an unbelievable story.I really enjoyed this book and was amazed at how much time the author had invested to make sure that her story came out the way she wanted it to.Rated 4 Bookworms
