This is a suprisingly well written book about a young woman in art school. It is worth a read. The main character is a post goth, and highly creative. The most memorable parts of the book to me were a wonderfully detailed kiss, a art project where the main character actually puts herself on the inside of one's ribcage, and the study of anatomy. However, I haven't read it in a while- but i still recommend you give it a try.
One of my all-time favorite books.
It has been a while since I read this, but if you ever were an art student, female, sort of clumsy and lovely all at once, you will enjoy this.
