Read this a few years back and remember it as one of those books that stuck with me for a long time. A powerful, sad and beautiful rendering of a friendship - its ups and downs. While some had issues with the author's flawed portrayal of her deceased friend, I thought in doing so, she was able to convey the passion and devotion Lucy inspired.
