So beautiful...... I would read it forty times and still cry.
Not a normal love story, Beth Kephart speaks to everyone
who has ever been isolated, hurt or basically in high school.
A ghost writer of love notes for the poetry-challenged boys at school,
Elisa is a here-and-now Cyrano de Bergerac. When Theo Moses asks
for love notes to court Lila, the most beautiful, and in Elisa's case, cruel,
girl at school, thing's start off normal. But slowly, as Theo becomes her
friend, Elisa realizes what it's like to have someone other then her father
care about whether or not she exists (for reason other than needing a poem)
Lila though, getting jealous of Theo spending time with Elisa almost ruins
Elisa's chances to bring her father home, mend her family, and for the
first time, have a friend.
