Two lonely teenage misfits meet one summer and create art which changes their lives forever. Talk about a fantastic book! I loved reading this and can’t believe this is the first book I have read by Kevin Wilson.

Sixteen-year-old Frankie Budge, an aspiring writer met Zeke, an artist that fateful summer. Zeke was staying at his grandmother’s home and was as lonely as Frankie. Together they made an unsigned poster using a xerox machine and their own blood. They wrote about being fugitives and plastered their posters anywhere and everywhere all over town. People talked about the posters, people speculated about their origin and what the posters meant, and things take a turn….

Twenty years later, Frankie is a happily married woman with a daughter. She is a famous author and enjoys her life until one day she receives a phone call that threatens everything. Mazzy Brower, a journalist is writing about what happened twenty years ago. Will this be what destroys Mazzy’s life? She needs to talk to Zeke.

This book was so good!!!! I loved the writing, the plot, and the characters. I did not want to put this book down, so I didn’t. This can easily be read in one sitting. Be prepared to be glued to the pages as I was.

I look forward to reading more of his work soon.

Thank you to Ecco and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
