Making the Run
reviewed on + 16 more book reviews


All her life Lulu McClellan has heard names. Growing up in a small Kentucky town, Lu has forever felt like she's on the outside looking in. Maybe that's why she takes pictures to make sense of what she sees and feels but doesn't always understand.

Now that graduation is almost here, Lu and her friend Ginny are moving in a quick blur of drugs and drink. Lu thinks she's just marking time, waiting for the moment when life will begin for real.

But the road is full of unmarked twists and turns. Without warning Lu free-falls into first love, while Ginny begins a deadly spiral into oblivion. (taken from the back of the book)
