And even though Claire is not Stargirl, I could not get [a:Jerry Spinelli|12696|Jerry Spinelli|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1201118632p2/12696.jpg]'s character out of my mind... which made me unable to see Claire clearly. Good thing it's short - I'm not, personally, thrilled to read about 17 year-old girls getting into so many unhealthy* situations. Otoh, brilliant, poetic, enchanting, adorable, etc. etc. For the right audience, a true treasure. *I won't call them 'mature' situations. Imo, anyone who does such stuff is immature - no matter how old or experienced. I just got through my second read of this, but it had been several years so it was like reading it anew. It was very easy to get through and is a good quick read for someone who enjoys "young adult" lit. There's not too much to say about it plot-wise, and I don't think this is a book one reads for the plot. Or dialogue. Or imagery or symbolism, or ... I don't know. I like the way Francesca Lia Block writes, the way things are a sorta fairytale (yes, that's a Tori Amos song) but also real and something one can identify with. I suppose this book is best for teeenage/college-age girls who are that point in their lives when they feel alienated and like no one understands them, but I think a girl (maybe a guy, too, I don't know) of any age can identify with having been there at some point, or having gone through the other stuff that Violet & Claire go through. Overall, I enjoyed it. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Francesca Lia Block builds beautiful imagery, and I love the characters.
Violet and Claire are opposites, but their personalities complement each other. Violet wears a lot of black and wants to be a screenwriter. Claire writes poetry and dreams of faeries. ( )
