Emma doesn't like to drink because she was in a car accident with her drunk step-daddy, which is why she's now living with her aunt, who gives her money and doesn't set a curfew. Then her mom got sick but found a boyfriend to marry so her daughter wouldn't have to be alone. (This might be a metaphor.) Her daddy left when she was six and her twin brother died when she was fourteen. She feels "absolutely crushed" when she walks into a classroom and he's not there.Įmma likes music and she likes to run. When he blows hot and cold, she gets upset. Immediately after she meets him, she starts obsessing over everything he says and talks about him with literally everyone she knows. Here's what we know about the main characters:Įmma is a high-school junior who lives near Central Park. Here is a sketch of the story, with some spoilers. But on page 15, Emma meets Brendan and everything goes downhill from there, because her whole life, including the scant paranormal aspects of this book, then revolves around getting him. There's a little bit of set up that explains Emma's nervousness over attending an exclusive school in a new city, plus some funny one-liners that make her seem pretty likable. The beginning of this book is pretty good.
