This book is a good example of how sometimes I don't read or pay attention of the names of the books I've read. 

I had this book on my e-library wish list for a good while and never even realized that I had already read it.

The description isn't very informative. And I feel doesn't say much to jog your memory.

I really liked this book, both times I read it.

But I don't care for the format, this book is written in a series of poems, and I feel that it takes away from the story. 

The main character is a photographer and I feel that the poems imply that she is a poet.

Short synopsis:

Liz Grayson is Photogirl, and her forever-best friend is Kate, the Mistress of Modern Dance.
At their monthly slumber party they argue, Liz goes upstairs, and Kate leaves early.
It isn't until a few days later that Liz finds out why Kate left early.
She says Liz's brother Mike raped her.
Mike says it was just sex.
Kate presses charges, and everything that was solid in Liz's world turns upside down.
In the months leading up to the trial, Liz has a hard time with everything, she feels out of place and uncertain.

You will have to find out the results of the trial for yourself. And decide for yourself if it was the right decision.

This book touches on a tough topic, rape, and while it does it in a graceful way, it's not all that in depth.
It talks more about how Liz deals with it, and her conflicting feelings.
I really liked it both times I read it, and definitely think it's worth a read even though the poetry isn't my favorite part.
