The Lucy Variations by Sara Zarr

3.0

While I enjoyed Zarr's writing in The Lucy Variations and I appreciated how different the subject matter was from other YA books I've read recently, this book failed to keep me engaged throughout. Additionally, Lucy's relationship with Will made me increasingly uncomfortable as it developed--although he initially seems oblivious to Lucy's feelings for him, some of the behaviour he tolerates and the actions he takes towards the end indicate a mutual attraction between the two. It was frustrating that this clearly inappropriate dynamic was never explicitly addressed.
