To me, I felt like Lillian was an outlet for Hannah to feel okay looking deeper into the details of the murders and sneaking peeks at the crime scene photos because Lillian was there and Lillian was always getting into that kind of stuff.
Lillian is almost like Hannah’s stream of consciousness in PAPER VALNETINE and I’d say that although she’s a character unto herself, she plays out the dialogue that Hannah would probably be having with herself it Lillian wasn’t there. This is one of the times I get upset with a book synopsis - It didn’t give away any spoilers or anything (which is the reason I generally avoid reading the summaries), but when it says that Lillian is pushing Hannah to investigate the murders, I wouldn’t really say that it was Lillian’s idea one way or the other. She realizes that only by confronting the Valentine Killer will she be able move on with her life-and it’s up to her to put together the pieces before he strikes again. With the entire city in a panic, Hannah soon finds herself drawn into a world of ghost girls and horrifying secrets. And she must stop thinking about Finny Boone, the big, enigmatic delinquent whose main hobbies seem to include petty larceny and surprising acts of kindness. But how can things be normal when Lillian’s ghost is haunting her bedroom, pushing her to investigate the mysterious string of murders? Hannah’s just trying to understand why her friend self-destructed, and where she fits now that Lillian isn’t there to save her a place among the social elite. Her best friend Lillian died six months ago, and Hannah just wants her life to go back to normal. The asphalt is melting, the birds are dying, petty crime is on the rise, and someone in Hannah Wagnor’s peaceful suburban community is killing girls.įor Hannah, the summer is a complicated one.
