I loved this story because it took me back to days when my life was so much simpler.  I rarely read stories involving teenagers for obvious reason, they're teenagers.  I know I'm dating myself, but this book reminded me of the days when I would race home from school on Wednesday afternoons so I could watch ABC's Afterschool Special.Paige is a spoiled, snotty teenager who gets a real dose of reality when caught cheating by a teacher.  Instead of facing expulsion, Paige is forced to sign up for community service.  She is placed with a family whose son Zack is on life support.  The family hopes that having someone read to Zack will stimulate his mind and eventually pull him out of the coma.Initially, Paige is grossed out by the lump in the bed.  She comes across Zack's diary and begins reading it to him.  Over time, she feels a connection to Zack through his diary.  She takes a closer look at her own life and the situations she finds herself in because she tries to please others.  This is wonderful story about first love and I would definitely read it again.
