![]() ![]() Lucy and Ed are strong in their own ways. This unusual hobby and the graffiti art add some fresh descriptions and a glimpse into a world of art not often explored within young adult fiction. Lucy is learning to do some glass blowing. Her fondness for classic stories adds a nice flair, since there are definitely some parallels between her story and that of the famed Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice. Lucy and Ed’s backstory definitely adds emotional depth. Each has a unique voice and identity and bring an essential piece of the story to the stage. Three points-of-view relay the story of a chaotic night: Lucy, Ed, and Poet. Maybe what she’s really wanted has been right in front of her all the time. As the night progresses, Lucy draws nearer to uncovering the identity of the elusive Shadow, but the closer she gets, the less he seems like the hero she’s built him up to be. Her obsession with Shadow is sure to lead to disappointment, but it’s like a train wreck from which he can’t look away. Ed, Lucy’s sort-of-ex-boyfriend, wishes she’d see past her prejudices and assumptions. ![]() The girls plan to track down Shadow and Poet, a secretive duo who pepper the city with brilliant graffiti and gut-wrenching poetry. On the last night of her senior year, Lucy and her best friend set out on an adventure. Knopf Books for Young Readers Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads ![]()
