As a teenager pretty much left to raise herself, Lucy Diamond is a narrator with a radiant yet guarded heart. As she races at breakneck pace toward womanhood, everything is at stake for her, producing an urgency and dread that she holds at bay with humor and grace. But while Lucy charges ahead, her mother's youth is fading. Simultaneously embracing and resisting their similarities, Fromm reveals both women's emotional vulnerabilities and their deep mutual need. Conveyed through dialogue that is both laugh-aloud-funny and true, Lucy stands out in contemporary literature for her large heart and inimitable grit.… (mais)

> Lorsque s'ouvre Lucy in the sky, de l'Américain Pete Fromm, Lucy Diamond, 14 ans, est passée experte dans l'art d'attendre. Un père bûcheron perpétuellement sur les routes, une mère occupée à courir les hommes et un meilleur ami, Kenny, avec qui elle tue le temps juchée sur une cage à écureuil, constituent son seul horizon. Dans sa ­petite ville perdue du Montana, Lucy espère patiemment que le destin vienne la cueillir, sans se douter que le changement tant attendu s'apprête à surgir ­d'elle-même...
Tout au long du roman, elle ne cesse de s'observer dans la glace : pour interroger son image, mais aussi son propre rapport à celle-ci. Le miroir sert ainsi de ­métaphore au dédoublement qui s'opère chez Lucy, ce décalage infime entre soi et soi qui advient à l'adolescence, et que Pete Fromm explore avec une extrême ­finesse.
Avril Ventura - Le Monde du 7 mai 2015

> Par Cécile Pellerin (ActuaLitté) : Lucy in the sky : un genre de superpouvoir redoutable, signé Pete ...
20 juil. 2015 ... Véritable roman initiatique, le dernier livre de Pete Fromm s'immerge avec réalisme dans l'adolescence de Lucy, jeune fille du Montana et raconte, sous ses traits et à travers sa voix, une année décisive, celle qui l'éloigne définitivement de l'enfance et celle qui brutalement, la fait basculer dans le monde adulte sans possibilité de retour. "Pourquoi on ne fait plus ce qu'on faisait avant ? Tu te rappelles quand on faisait des choses ? Tu te rappelles qu'on allait à la pêche ?"

This book is my baby and I will cherish it forever. I heard about this book after I watched the movie (please go check it out, it's amazing!) and I honestly don't regret a thing. The book is about a girl whose parents had her at a young age and are not mature enough. It also talks about what she goes through as a teenager when it comes to experience new things and this book is definitely on my top 3. Seriously, amazing! ( )

This is one of my all-time favorite novels that I have read and re-read countless times since I was 14. It's a classic coming-of-age story about Lucy Diamond, a tomboy girl slowly coming into her own as a woman. Pete Fromm tells the story with such unwavering spirit and sincerity, that the reader often forgets the writer is not a teenage girl, but rather a middle-aged man. A beautiful story recommended for everyone who likes coming-of-age novels. ( )

This book was recommended to me by a teenager, and although it's not technically a YA book, it is about a relationship between a teenage girl, her absent father, her mother, and her best friend/boyfriend, so it's relevant for mature teens and younger adults, who can make a lot of personal connections between this book and their own lives. Readers follow Lucy's adolescence from her buzz-cut, junior-high days through two sexual relationships, all depicted about as awkwardly and humurously as these things really are. Lucy's mother, a young and lonely mom, is a sympathetic character even though she does atrocious things as she makes the decision to pursue her own happiness during Lucy's later teen years. And many will recognize Lucy's father as the perpetually returning dad who expects the world to stop spinning because he's decided to grace everyone with his rare presence. The family dynamics are genuine, heartfelt, and complex. Although I'm not sure I'd recommend this to just any teen, I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoyed Prep. ( )
