I read Perfect Match. by Jodi Picoult.
its about a young boy whos sexually abused by a priest. What happens is that everyone falsely accuses a priest of doing it, when it was actually a visiting priest. The real molester had a bone marrow transplant from the falsely accused priests, show they shared DNA.
The mother of the boy, who's a DA, actually ended up killing the falsely accused priest. The jury couldnt reach a verdict so she wasnt charged with murder, just manslaughter, but her sentence was suspended.

Tweak- Nic Sheff
I finished reading Lucky, and over the weekend I read Tweak by Nic Sheff.
The story is a memoir of his life.
Its starts out by telling you about his life at a young age, when he started with the drugs.
He was about eleven, and he got drunk for the first time with a friend. After that, he started smoking weed. Everyday. He tells you how he smoked before school, during. after, all the time. Then, he occassionally started tripping acid and mushrooms on weekends. He started dating a girl named Lauren his senior year. They always did drugs together, and he was embarrassed to bring her home to his parents and didnt want people to know he was dating her. They broke up and he later heard that she was in rehab. Nic was sober for 18 months, he had a car, money and house again. He worked at a rehab facillaty. He ended up running into Lauren again and they started hanging out again, sneaking around between their houses.
Nic met Zelda. She was a rich older woman, and they started hanging out. She was engaged, and slept around with Nic and they did drugs together. Thats when Nic started doing cocaine. Nic became very emotionally attached to her, and things between them ended. Thats when he met Akria. Akria offered him his first line of meth, and Nic took it. Right away he was addicted, like meth was what he was missing his whole life. Nic went crazy to get that high again. But everytime he did it it was never the same. He dropped out of college and his parents kicked him out. He would break into their house and steal money and his dads checks to pay for meth. He got a job at a coffee shop but stole hundreds of dollars, and ending up getting a possesion charge. He spent three years going in and out of rehab too. He mets a boy named Destiny on the street and they become friends. Nic buys him a beer and Destiny agrees to introduce him to a friend of his who sells speed. Nic starts smoking alot too at this time. He leaves Nic on the street to go talk to someone and thats when Lauren sees him. Thats when they start hanging out again and he gets into drugs again. Laurens parents go out of town and he stays there with her. Its a really good book and I recommend it completely!

Lucky
I just started reading the book Lucky.
Its a memoir about a girl named Alice Sebold.
During her freshman year at Syracuse University, she was beaten and raped in the park along the university.
She went to the police and they did everything they could but they still couldnt find the man.
She went back home during the summer, and returned the following school year back at Syracuse. She had to make some changes though, she had to live in the all girls single room dorm, she needed an escort when she went out past five o'clock, and most people were surprised she came back.
During her sophomore year, she was walking through town and she passed by her rapist. He began to talk to her and she kept walking. She turned to see the man talking to a police officer. She went to her class and told her teacher, he escorted her to the police station were she made another complaint on him. They took her description of the police officer the man was talking to, and it was enough evidence for them to identify him. Thats as far as I've gotten.
