Romantic relationships, friendships and personal honesty are great for a person to have. But all need honesty to survive.
Romantic relationships are great, you are with the one person who truly understands you and there is no greater feeling. Lucy and Ed are trying to make a romantic relationship work but they didn’t start it with honesty. “Lying isn’t my idea of romance”. Lucy and Ed began their relationship based on lies. Ed “thinks about her finding out” he is “Shadow”. Ed “thinks about her being disappointed because” he is “guy going nowhere, not a guy who is sensitive and smart and funny” like Lucy has created Shadow to be in her mind. Ed is afraid that he will not meet Lucy’s expectations therefore he did not reveal his true identity to her from the beginning. “Truth is better, painful, but better”. Ed should have told Lucy the truth from the beginning and Lucy shouldn’t have been so blinded by the fantasy she has created in her mind. By Ed not telling anyone he is Shadow, when Lucy finds out, her and Jazz “feel like the stupidest girls in the world” because they have been played from the start. Leo and Jazz also started their relationship based on lies. Leo is “Poet” and he “owes money to Malcolm Dove”. Leo doesn’t tell Jazz that he is “Poet “because he “likes to live for the adrenalin” and he thought it would be fun. By lying about his identity and his debt to Malcolm, he endangers the girls when Malcolm comes to collect and Leo doesn’t have the money. Truthfulness is optimal to maintain a romantic relationship and friendship, lying just ruins everything.
Friendships between a group of friends can lead to some of the funniest and most adventurous days you will ever have. Lucy, Jazz and Daisy have a very honest friendship with each other. “The
