OLDER FICTION
(2) YA Liz can't figure out why her "forever-best friend" Kate is avoiding her. Slowly and skillfully, through prose poems, Kate's secret is revealed: Liz's brother raped her. When Liz confronts him, he denies it. Who is she to believe? By giving Liz a voice that's expressive yet down-to-earth, Marcus keeps the drama from skittering into Lifetime TV territory and avoids a quick-fix ending.
