Torn is a wonderful young adult read from Kensington Teen Books. The story is very heartfelt and entwining it shows the bond between a girl and her best friend, Mo and Verity. They had grown up together all their lives without fully knowing each other. Mo AKA Mouse is Maura Fitzgerald, her family is suspected of being mobsters her dads locked up in the pen and her Uncle controls everything about her mother and her life. Verity the very air that breathes around Mo is all that kept her on a path of sanity till the night Mo looses Verity. I feel horrible for the two girls as you see the bond they share shattered and the care that Mo still has for her friend. Vowing vengence Mo struggles through her life after Verity's death and trying to understand and help the people that took it from her. Finding out that everyone around her is not what they all seem.
As she falls into a Magical and fantasy world she discovers that Verity was a deeper girl than just the vibriant out going socialite and that she herself has inherited Verity's destiny along with her own. The decisions she has to make are more than which guy to date. She has to choose the fate of the world. This story was strong to the points and morals it was just a wonderful read that I am finding so hard to put into words other than to GO read this yourself and maybe you will feel as I do I want to know more I want to ask is there going to be a second story with Mo and the outcome of things to come after alliances fail, choices are made, people are lost and the world changes. Changing a girl into a young woman with the control finally in her hands.
