Janet Fitch wrote White Oleander and Paint it Black. One book about white and the other about black but both books were about broken people. I liked the main character, Josie Tyrell in Paint it Black. She has spunk and creativity. She falls in love with another broken person named Michael. Michael is an imposter; a fake person who just about drains the life out of Josie. The characters are riveting and the story is so clearly told that I can almost feel the pain and congestion in my chest from smoking so many cigarettes.
