I'll think of a damn title later
I'll think of a damn title later rated it 11 years ago
While this book uses a familiar trope (teacher and student affair), this book stands out with its unusual structure (instead of chapters, Nelson uses sections with poetic titles) and fluid prose.

I will admit that this is a strange book that actually got my attention. What got me hooked was the plot. The characters were a little hard to grasp. Some seemed unbelievable while others you can get right away!Emma is not your normal teenager. She had epilepsy and the things of the world seem far f...
