Our stories can set us free

I decided that I must write about these books (or book) as I think they are absolutely gorgeous. I bought the first book Weetzie Bat when I was 15ish I think and I thought it was amazing, I wanted to be weetzie and live in a cottage and have adventures in the city of angels that was falling apart at the seams.
There are five books in series and each one is beautiful in its own way, Francesca Lia Block has this amazing talent for weaving these stories into something that is special to read. The mix of reality and fantasy is done in such a way that the fantastical like something very possible. Don't get me wrong, this is not a book about fairies and wizards but rather a look at how magic can be found in or lives.

this could be a book about cheap cheese and bean burritos, slinkster dogs, lanky lizards and rubber chicken...
or strawberry sundaes with marshmallow toppings, surfing, stage-diving and sleeping on the beach...
it could be even be a book about magic.

Dangerous angel refers to the mot dangerous and beautiful thing we will ever experience... true love.

I would recommend this book in a heartbeat.
