    About this ebook

    Emanuella "LL" Harvey puts her gymnastic skills to good use as a member of her brother's Parkour group. Free running, jumping, and climbing over their corner of the city like it's an obstacle course gives them something to take pride in and keeps them out of trouble—sort of. But trouble finds LL when she runs into Haze, a talented graffiti artist whose sister Heather was murdered two years before.

    Freerunner and Writer promptly fall in love, but they decide to hide their relationship till they're sure it's the real thing—and until they can find a way to placate LL's hotheaded brother, who has it in for Haze and his gang. But when portraits of LL done in Haze's distinctive style start popping up on city walls, all hell breaks loose.

    LL's brother threatens a gang war, which LL tries to avert by identifying the Writer who is really responsible for the paintings. But when another teen is murdered, it looks bad for Haze, especially when LL discovers that Heather's killer and her portrait-painter are one and the same.

      Gin Price's On Edge is very much a young-adult book, and it will likely appeal to its target audience more than it did to me.I did find the glimpses of the graffiti and parkour enthusiasts interesting ... although the book is oblivious to the effect these activities have on the community at large, focusing only on the rivalry between them.I also liked that the groupings described are not strictly racially based.Still -- even though the protagonist is a girl -- the "crews" are almost entirely male; she is the only girl in the parkour group, and there are apparently no girls in the graffiti group. There also is NO mention, except for glancing references to the gymnastics group, to anything girls do together. And, naturally, our protagonist is both better than and rejected by the gymnastics group; a typical "exceptional female" story, where "you're not like all the other girls" is high praise indeed.The romance was also really problematic. Haze/Bren (almost everyone has an array of names) supposedly adores her, but goes into a jealous fury whenever he sees her interacting with another male. And, worse, she finds this adorable. Since such unreasonable jealousy and attempts to restrict her from interacting with other males is a serious warning sign of future abuse, I did not find it cute at all.Also, in the tradition of the very worst romances, her lust for this guy overwhelms all the danger signs he's displaying. Since the kisses are fabulous, he is OBVIOUSLY a Good Guy.It would have been a better book if it had taken this stuff seriously, rather than just glossing over the issues and offering a "solution" that made very little sense in the end.In short: it is edgy in many ways, but it is also seriously retrogressive (and borderline misogynist). I could have forgiven some of this if the plotting had been tighter and led to a more coherent resolution.I received this book in exchange for writing an honest review.
