Passion of Youth,
By
This review is from: Paint it Black (Hardcover)
"Paint it Black" captures that throbbing ache that is being a young girl faced with a great tragedy...made worse by the fact that the tragedy is a Prince Charming-ish first love. Josie, the art model main character, longs, pines, grieves with keen intensity. Her process of mourning is set against a vibrant back drop of 80s punk/alt Los Angeles. Plenty emo. Though the backdrop is vibrant and exciting, the reader can't help but feel the emptiness of this scene when reminded of the heroine's loss. When you don't have that special person to keep sharing life with, is anything worthwhile?
Fitch also crosses into territory that is much in need of exploration in terms of class. This book delineates class differences in America in a very real way...no one talks about this enough. We blindly pretend it doesn't matter. Josie finds out in subtle ways how it does and when it doesn't. In all, an excellent read for those who dare dive into emotional waters and Angelenophiles.

Great story!,

This review is from: Paint it Black (Hardcover)
Slightly more claustrophobic than White Oleander, but just as fabulous. Multi-layered, very real characters. And the ending made me smile.

Review of 'Paint it Black',
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paint it Black (Hardcover)
This book was rather depressing and slow. I kept waiting for something to happen, but it seemed like the majority of the book involved the main character being drunk or high and thinking about how terrible her life is.
