I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this book. I knew a little bit about it; the main character Emma was agoraphobic and began a relationship with a teacher but beyond that I didn't know what to expect. SMRW is not your average student/teacher relationship story, this was an emotional book about healing and love. I liked Em's character. She was stronger than she realized & despite everything she had been through she was still full of life. I also liked Simon's character, he was kind and protective of Em. I loved that he had his priorities straight, he knew what was important and was willing to fight for what was right. I enjoyed the banter & relationship between Emma & Simon.SMRW is a fast pace book that never lost my interest. While the emotional struggles Em goes through during the book are very tough but Miss Johnson is written in a way that tugs at the heart strings instead of leaving you in tears. It does not end with a cliff-hanger but it does end with a 'to be continued'. I am really anticipating the next book, I know it will sweet yet heartfelt. Not only will I read book 2 in this particular series I also plan to read others by Johnson. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys some reality & emotion in their books but not extreme angst.
