[close] We learn in the opening paragraph of the book that 15 year old Lindy has been knocked off her bike and raped. Then it's almost like the rape is a sideline in the story rather than the main focus. The narrator/main character only brings it up in the narration to claim his innocence or some other neighborhood boy's innocents. No one is looking for the rapist. From that point on the narrator tells his life story as he looks back upon his adolescence and the girl across the street and two doors down that he's had a crush on since elementary school. It seems like a typical school boy crush. As his story unfolds, however, it becomes more clear that it's much closer to obsession. While his story is interesting enough to hold the readers interest...it doesn't tell us anything about the rape or who did it. Seems the biography got in the way of the main story line. 3 stars because as I said...it was interesting but not what I thought the book was about.
