I just finished reading the book, The Graffiti Moon andits about a group of friends who go out in search of a graffiti artist named Shadow but -Spoiler- when they find of Ed is Shadow it really mixes things up for Lucy because all this time she thought she wanted Shadow but as the story progesses, she begins to fall for Ed again because they previously dated but it didnt end well, but when she finds out Ed is Shadow,she has choices to make and she chooses to stay with Ed because she doesnt care that hes, broke and has no jobs and is a somewhat criminal, she only cares about him, and he feels the same way. Also the book takes place from 2 different perspectives so you understand what each of the 2 charcacter Ed, and Lucy are both thinking.
I think the main idea of this book is to always tell the truth. Ed kept this secret from Lucy for a couple years and he had amny chances to tell her but he chose not to, even though i understand that his last girlfriend that he told almost got him arrested, lyeing was almost one of the factors to makeLucy not want Ed anymore, but she eventually got over it. She even got over the fact that Ed really didnt have much going for him. He had no job, he had no money, hes a criminal and was about to rob the school and almost got them killed because of Eds friend oweing a crazy guy some money. I think this lesson not only applys to the book because the book isnt real, it applys to life. The saying the truth will set you free isnt and exageration. It takes a big load off your back. Ed after he "told" Lucy the truth, he found it easy to breath and explain himself and tell her the real story of why he lied so much. That can happen for us to, not saying a small lie here and there is always bad, but if something heavy is on our minds, we should share it.
In conclusion, lieing isnt always the right thing to do. It sets a weight on you and csn hurt emotionally and destroy relation ship. We should do whats right and tell someone. It will set us free
