Goodreads Summary:
About a high-school
senior, who, in the aftermath of a car accident that kills her boyfriend
and throws her carefully planned future into complete upheaval,
retreats to the deep woods of Maine to live with the artist father she
barely knows and meets a boy who threatens to pull her from her safe,
hard-won exile.
Reasons I want to read & own this book:
1. The title. Lovely, Dark and Deep. Which is a reference to the profound and amazing Robert Frost poem that goes like this:
“These woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
2. The cover. It's lovely. I like the tree imagery and the snow.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
2. The cover. It's lovely. I like the tree imagery and the snow.
3. The synopsis. From the summary of the book it seems that the main character is going to have to face many fears/issues head on to see if she can overcome them. The woods are a great way to symbolize this. When a person is in the woods they are faced w/ uncertainty and its just them and nature basically.
What do you guys think? :)
