Graffiti Moon
by Cath Crowley
First I saw that cover. Then I saw the glowing reviews. I knew that I had to read this book. The premise sounds very intriguing, right? There are probably no other books out there about a graffiti artist. There's something utterly romantic about the idea of a boy illegally spray painting art. Add a 24 hour adventure in the vein of Nick & Norah, and you have one fantastic book on your hands.
It has been a really long time since I read a book where every single character is completely likeable. Lucy was determined and witty. Ed was tough but also kind of sensitive. I really loved their friends too. It seems like more often than not I don't like friends in books, but these were hilarious. They had their own side stories too.
The book is told from alternating perspectives. You get a glimpse inside both Ed and Lucy's heads and I must say that Cath Crowley is a master of complex and realistic characters.
All of that being said the book did lack just a tiny bit of something that would have made it amazing for me. I'm not sure what it was, but I ultimately still adored it. It was a fun and quick read, but it also had a lot of heart. I recommend it.
