I Know Lucy is a fascinating tale of a teenaged girl thrust into the most horrible of circumstances. Forced into a life of crime in order to survive, Lucy is a strong, resilient, and yet fragile young woman struggling to find a life for herself.I enjoyed the way the author switched up the POVs in this book, first person for Zach and third for Lucy. It worked really well, since Lucy's part of the story are all remembrances of the past while Zach's are present day.Lucy is a wonderfully real character, she seems to leap right off the page. Her story is exciting and heartbreaking and I want very much to know how it all turns out for her. Zach is a little odd and I found his intensity a bit off putting. However, he can be admired for his fierce desire to protect Lucy and save her, even though he doesn't realize the kind of danger he's putting himself and everyone he loves in.If you enjoy YA suspense, you may want to give this one a try.
