When I first saw Graffiti Moon at the library, I almost put it right back down on the shelf. Graffiti Moon is a perfect example of why you should always give books a chance to prove themselves. He takes Lucy on an all-night search to places where Shadow’s thoughts about heartbreak and escape echo around the city walls.īut the one thing Lucy can’t see is the one thing that’s right before her eyes. His work is all over the city, but he is nowhere.Įd, the last guy she wants to see at the moment, says he knows where to find him. Lucy’s looking for Shadow, the graffiti artist everyone talks about. It’s a new favorite that I’m sure to re-read over and over.It’s the end of Year 12. Graffiti Moon is just so crazy beautiful. Still, I found myself thinking about it all for days afterwards. I thought that finishing the story would do the trick. Really, I just love the characters and the way their stories unfold. The multiple narrators? The graffiti? The glass blowing? The poetry? The misunderstanding? The families? The romance? The everything!!!!! I don’t even know where to begin with my love for this book.

I simply could not bear to be parted from the story! About a third of the way in I broke down and grabbed the book off the shelf at my library. However, I feel so quickly and desperately in love with the story that I simply could not wait for the audio to be done. Multiple narrators, great pacing, super good all around. Excellent.Īs I said, I began to read this one via audio. I am kicking myself for waiting so long! I could have been re-reading and re-reading this one all this time! It. Since I’ve recently made a push to read review books I missed I decided to check out the audio of this one. This book! I had heard amazing things about it from friends. And what Lucy can't see is the one thing that's right before her eyes. But when Ed tells her he knows where to find Shadow, they're suddenly on an all-night search around the city. Instead, Lucy's stuck at a party with Ed, the guy she's managed to avoid since the most awkward date of her life. He's out there somewhere-spraying color, spraying birds and blue sky on the night-and Lucy knows a guy who paints like Shadow is someone she could fall for. Senior year is over, and Lucy has the perfect way to celebrate: tonight, she's going to find Shadow, the mysterious graffiti artist whose work appears all over the city.
