Edie has a cognitive disorder that causes her to mis-hear
words. In English, she can usually
manage to figure sentences out in their context.
But in the French class she is taking, it is nearly impossible for her
and she struggles. She'd quit, but the class is
crucial for her in her chosen career as a fashion designer and her plan to go
to Paris to study this summer.
She needs a tutor and the class’s TA, Hudson offers to help her. He obviously wants more
from Edie but she resists getting involved. Any sort of relationship is just going to complicate her life. Still, Edie
can’t deny that she is attracted to him. But really what future can they have when she
is planning to study in Paris?
Quirky and original story with strong characters. Edie, despite the temptation that Hudson presents, is pretty steadfast in her dedication to her career goals. I did find it rough and amateur, but there is raw talent here. Finally, it got mislabeled as YA, when it is really NA, but young readers may not care (the characters are not terribly mature so the primary visible difference is that they live in dorms and not at home).
