    About this ebook

    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.

      This novelette was quite cute! It's predictable, but it put a smile on my face and it's great for a little free time
