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. 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. Really fall for. Instead, Lucy's stuck at a party with Ed, the guy she's managed to avoid since the most awkward date of her life. But when Ed tells her he knows where to find Shadow, they're suddenly on an all-night search around the city. And what Lucy can't see is the one thing that's right before her eyes.
Initial thoughts: A lyrical book centred on graffiti. Who would've thought? As an audiobook, I loved listening to the alternating voices of mainly Ed and Lucy. Since the narrators were chosen to fit their genders, it really helped me get into their characters more than plain reading did. Although, when it came to the interspersed poems, I preferred reading them on the printed pages. In any case, the plot was simple to follow yet gave rise to a lot of dramatic tension, which pulled me right into Graffiti Moon.
