A cute little anti-love love story! Emma's journey to emulate Emily Dickinson opened up a whole new world for her but definitely not in the way she expected.

I agree with other reviews that a lot of the plot and “twists” were predictable, but that made the satisfaction, when they actually happened the way I pictured it, even better. Some of the miscommunication was carried on for too long though and made it frustrating. I did laugh and cry reading the book, so I gave it 5 stars.

I loved the story and felt like the characters challenges and solutions gave me a lot to think about and learn from. I liked the romance, but the continued miscommunications were frustrating. Finally, in my opinion the "worst swears" could have been left out and I was glad there weren't more. Overall I really enjoyed the story.
