This book is amazingly done. The verse style of writing flows nicely and still conveys the feelings and message that it needs to. A very quick and gripping read. It's prefect for any teen to read to understand how a horrible life event, such as rape in the case of this book, affects so many people.

Liz and Katie have been best friends for as long as they both can remember. But that all changes when Katie begins acting strangely. She ignores Liz in the halls, loses interest in her hobbies, and isolates herself from everyone.
A confrontation reveals the unimaginable. Katie had been raped, and the rapist was a member of Liz's own family.
Liz suddenly finds her life spinning out of control as she struggles to come to terms with Katie's shocking allegations. Will she be able to pick up the pieces of her shattered life, or will her friendship with Katie never recover?
Emotional and raw, Kimberly Marcus writes in a brutally honest free verse similar to that of Ellen Hopkins. She reaches to find the true heart and soul of a teenager and is extremely successful. The pain the characters are experiencing is evident in every line, creating a breathtaking piece of literature. EXPOSED is easily one of the best books I have read all year. I couldn't put it down - and neither will you.
