What one perceives as "doing the right thing" another might experience as a rejuvinating act of kindness. The beautiful people may also be inclined to cover their bodies with green-marker words until they find meaning in their lives. 1 high school, 21 voices. These are stories we know on the surface, the fragile anorexic, the gay couple that met in art class, the girl whose mom has cancer, the goth that writes on the walls. But like a Fauvist painter, Levithan weaves their bright colors together. He shows their connections, and in doing so, shows our connections. Meanwhile, each stroke has its own depth, revealing bathtub, midnight, darkroom secrets.
