Get the paperback edition at your local independent bookstore, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon. It's my first book to receive three starred reviews! And it's out now in paperback (as well as ebook and hardcover). It's about unrequited love and unfulfilled longings. The things that Jess does are motivated by a combination of all these feelings.Ī Line in the Dark is a psychological thriller. Sometimes they spill out of her into her artwork sometimes they spill out of her in arguments with her best friend. Jess, the main character of A Line in the Dark, feels all these things, and as a 16-year-old still discovering who she is, she struggles to contain all these emotions. I think that meanness can come across as shallow and spiteful (and sometimes it is, perhaps in its truest sense), but it's also defensive and used as a shield to hide softer, more vulnerable feelings. I don't know about you, but when I was a teen girl, meanness was wielded as a weapon against me more than once - and I used it back, too. I might argue with 'mean girls' in its most stereotypical sense, but to be honest, there are some mean girls in A Line in the Dark.What I mean, of course, is that this book contains anger, obsession, jealousy, and complicated shifting identities that sometimes are expressed by meanness.
