She is self-absorbed and destructive, and wants to drag Evan down with her. Even though we the readers learn why, it is hard to summon up sympathy for Lucy. She sports a Goth look, seems permanently angry, and is closed off to Evan. This year, when Lucy comes back, she has changed. The point of view switches back and forth unevenly between Lucy and Evan it is mostly Evan’s story. Lucy moved away when her parents divorced, and Evan now only sees her once a year, over Christmas break, when Lucy returns to visit her father. This is the saga of Evan and Lucy, best friends since forever, who are now seventeen. The story did not move me much, except to irritation over the immaturity of the characters and even more so, over the excessively detailed descriptions of everything they said to one another, no matter how inane or monumentally inconsequential. Winter Town is a graphic- style novel, combining passages of text with art and occasional comic strips.
