Violet & Claire by Francesca Lia Block
4.0
Violet wants nothing more than to direct movies. Dressing in black she's angry and intense, imagining camera sweeps and images she dreams of bringing to the big screen. Claire is a fairy come to life--complete with wings made of gauze and glitter. She radiates love and wishes to be a poet. And though these girls seem like complete opposites, they are the best of friends. Until the realities of life threaten to split them apart.
Told in alternating narrative between Violet and Claire, their differences become even more pronounced. Where violet is dark and intense, Claire is light and fluffy (sometimes it's hard to believe anyone could be that sweet). This was my first Francesca Lia Block book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Since my best friend and I are similarly opposite, I completely related to their difficulties in remaining together and took hope in the fact that they finally made things work out. Because of the sex and drugs aspects, I would recommend this for mid- to late-teens.
