Skyscraping
June 2, 2015
Mira is just beginning her senior year of high school when she discovers her father with his male lover. Her world–and everything she thought she knew about her family–is shattered instantly. Unable to comprehend the lies, betrayal, and secrets that–unbeknownst to Mira–have come to define and keep intact her family’s existence, Mira distances herself from her sister and closest friends as a means of coping. But her father’s sexual orientation isn’t all he's kept hidden. A shocking health scare brings to light his battle with HIV. As Mira struggles to make sense of the many fractures in her family's fabric and redefine her wavering sense of self, she must find a way to reconnect with her dad–while there is still time.
Told in raw, exposed free verse, Skyscraping reminds us that there is no one way to be a family.
I love verse novels every now and then. I'm a big fan of Lisa Schroeder's work but I've never read books by any other author who writes in verse. This might be nice! Also, I adore the cover :)
The first line really captured me hope you enjoy this.

I haven't read a verse novel in so long. I feel like I'm due for one.
