It's Complicated

This book is slightly too big for my bag so I have to carry it under my arm. Having it out in the open has revealed it's magnetism. The photos are so arresting people are drawn to them whenever I have it out in public. On the subway home from class on Wednesday there were several people reading over my shoulder as I went through the photos and interviews again. When the train got to my stop I moved towards the doors still reading and when I glanced back I saw several people staring at what I was reading. I almost laughed out loud, but it was very powerful to see what effect the images have on people. This book should be on display in every teen space in every library!

  1. I love it when a book does that--captures the attention of New Yorkers on the subway and such--those must be really awesome photos, because New Yorkers are super jaded when it comes to those kinds of things :)
