No answer is better or worse than the alternative, and your true friends will be there for you during this challenging time. Exploring sexuality is often a process and it's important that teens and parents alike understand this. These situations are often not remedied or understood overnight. There is a focus on individual choices, decisions and sexual preferences. Torn provides a platform to show teens they are not the only one struggling with issues of sexual identity. The main message in the book is that being a teen who is questioning your sexuality is okay. This is the catalyst of the story and where the journey of all the characters truly begin. But on one occasion Krista will be forced to make her own decision once she is presented with a dare that ultimately has life altering repercussions. Throughout the novel she makes many friends, each with diverse lifestyles. The novel centers around Krista, a 14 year old girl who was raised in an all-girl's Catholic school in Ohio when she suddenly finds herself facing school in the public system in California. Heterosexual relationships are not overlooked either. In Amber Lehman's new novel, Torn, Lehman explores teen sexuality in its many different facets, from homosexuality, bisexuality, and teens who are simply questioning themselves.
