Better Than Running at Night - Couverture rigide

"With honesty, wit, and a wild first-person narrative, this first novel breaks boundaries in YA fiction in a story about college freshman Ellie Yelinsky and her search for art, love, sex, and meaning...Great monologue material for readers’ theatre, this is clearly for older high-schoolers and college students, who will recognize the wry self-parody, the insider’s raw wicked take on Generation Y’s coming-of-age." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review

“Even kids who scorn Felicity will relish this vision of a life of exploration outside parental walls.” The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Having removed the overly dramatic makeup of her solitary high school days, Ellie looks forward to recreating herself and her art. Arriving alone for winter session at the New England College of Art and Design, Ellie finds the ideal opportunity. In her first days she begins dirty dancing with the Devil. Then she makes out with him. A story about independence, trust, and boys.
