Graffiti Moon by Cath Crowley
5.0
To date, this is the lightest book that I've ever read -light yet did not get too cheesy on the themes of love, friendship, family and passion in life.
Here we meet the arty, glass-blower protagonist Lucy while she hunts for this young, sheddy, graffiti artist (Ed) who happened to be the boy she wished and badly wanted to be with for the rest of her life. Luckily, like fairy tales, while life sometimes sucks, it still gives the best rewards. Both characters faced lies but in the end there were more honesty; there were fighting and drunk parents but in the end there were more faith; there were unfinished businesses, failed tests, but in the end there were more innate knowledge and talents.
Graffiti Moon opened my mind to this side of graffiti sans the gangs, drugs and vulgar wall messages. This is graffiti with deeper meaning gentlemen, with the mixture of poetry.
Crowley mostly talked about these spray-painted walls, wall by wall, but it did not drag at all. The flashbacks and stories behind the characters, the POV's, the whole feel of the environment were legit and easily relatable. It was such a steady, friendly experience.
I can say everyone is going to love this! :)
