I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I had never read the story of Jane Eyre and had no idea of what it was all about. 
 Emma is a young writer. She loves writing poetry and making up her own stories. The book starts off at Emma's sixteenth birthday party. She does not really even want to be there and worst of all, her parent's had invited Gray. Gray and Emma grew up together. Their mother's were best friends. They sort of have a love-hate relationship. 
 As Emma struggles through her year, she is jostled back and forth between being Jane and Emma. She finds out a lot of secrets and a lot about herself along the way. 
 Emma was a great heroine. She was strong and at times could be feisty, but my favorite is definitely Gray. He is your typical masked adolescent that does a good job at looking fine on the outside, but tormented on the inside. Those last few chapters with him were excruciatingly painful. It was hard to see a character so full of life at the beginning hit a downward spiral so quickly. 
 I enjoyed Ms. Mont's writing style. She had a great way of explaining without going over the top with details. 
 The ending was superb, I got the butterflies just reading the last chapter. I expect the next book in the series, A Touch of Scarlet, to be just as wonderful.
