Overview

Paige should have never agreed to do her best friend’s semester English project. Community service sucks. Especially when you have a major social life. But it’s that or possible expulsion from school. Reading to a boy in a coma is just plain creepy, but her English teacher somehow thinks her acting skills make it the perfect community service match.

But when she finds the boy’s journal hidden among his books, things turn from creepy to interesting. Very interesting. The boy who looked like death slowly comes alive as she reads his own words to him. And each day Paige is wishing more and more he would wake up.

This is a novelette length story.

And a warning for those sensitive to profanity, this story contains some.

    Cute Story!

    After cheating on a project for her best friend, Paige's community service work is reading to a boy in a coma. His mother thinks the more interaction he has the more likely he'll wake up. Paige's squeamish about reading to him and is resentful about the whole thing until she finds his journal. As she reads his journal and gets to know him, she starts to feel like he's a real person instead of a `body in a bed'.

    This was a really cute story. The characters were great. I was surprised at how much I liked Zach through just journal entries. It was also interesting watching Paige change through Zach's influence. The end definitely didn't disappoint either.

    Great story

    I loved this story although it was to short for my likeing the autgor did a very goodjob writing this. This is an icredibly cute story and i highly recommend it for everyone. It has a few choice words so i would say as long as you passed 7th grade you should read it. I loved how the story was told through the entrys in Zach diary oops i mean his JURNAL andhow he comes and finds paige at the end. I recommend this book if you have free time.... or no free time you should still read this. sorry my review is a bit run-on.

    Sweet story

    This was such a nice quick read. Loved the character development of both characters....it would make a great movie (not usually what i ever think about a book) i can almost see the characters in day to day life.

    Okay until it has the fword. Swearing, too. And the girl sounds like a typical Bratty Brattifur.

    Great book

    I really enjoyed this book. I just jumped right into the story and it felt like a movie was playing in my head. It was perfect. It was not a page to short or a page to much.

    Perfect little ditty

    Okay. So this book is super short. But, in it is a cute story that has you on your toes until the end. No loose ends remaining. And fully satisfying. Basically a nice read if you wanna chill and escape life for a few hours. I would recommend this book in good conscience. :)
