Book Reviews of Violet & Claire
Book Review: "Violet and Claire" my review
Summary: 5 Stars
"Violet and Claire" is a book about two young girls, two completely opposite girls, who find each other in high school to make a perfect pair. They protect each other from the dangers of school, show business, men, drugs, and LA.
I liked "Violet and Claire" a lot because of how much I related to both of the main characters. This, as all other books by Francesca Lia Block are, isn't a book you just sit back and read for the fun of it. It is something people can relate to, especially teenage girls like me. This is a book to learn from, if one lets themselves. I learned a little about myself.
Violet is a dark, rich, somewhat jaded, depressed but tough up-and-coming screenplay writer, and Claire is a quiet, poetry-writing, insecure, home-wrecked, strange girl who believes she is a descendent of a lost race of faeries. In the book it was saying how if you put the two girls together, they make "the perfect image of a girl". This is somewhat true. Together they make an average (not perfect) girl struggling to survive in a world of love, hate, insecurity, murder, drugs, cruelty, jealousy, friendship, and violence. A world where everything goes so fast, that it's too hard to live without someone there to help.
I recommend this book to any and every girl from the ages of 14 to 20. Reading this book gave me a sense of security that even though all teenage girls don't get along with each other, there are characteristics and such that give us a little unity in our lives. It gave me the knowledge that even when I'm feeling alone or misunderstood, there's someone else out there who feels just the same right at that moment. No one is ever alone.
