Angel has too choose between bad-boy graffiti artist Miguel and golden boy artist Nathan, and balance her choice with her own art.

Great story about finding oneself through art. I've always been interested in graffiti, but reading this book I really got a different look at what it is that the artists create.

It was okay. At one point she gets caught and is in trouble, but the authority figure was like "art's good though."

...and not to be THAT kid, but that actually happened to me while I was drawing comics and passing them around like notes math class in 6th grade (and got caught by a substitute teacher that later became my art teacher in high school).

I mostly remember this book despite having read it nearly 10 years ago though, so that's a point to its credit.

2.5 out of 5 stars. It's a teen romp that has bold characters but falls a little flat during the plot (at least for me). So slow-paced that I had to force myself to finish the book. Good ending but it could have been better.
