After the unexpected suicide of her ex-boyfriend, Emily is sent to boarding school in Amherst, MA, where she gets close to three girls; two of whom are alive. These three girls help Emily heal her damaged self; however, it is the spirit of Emily Dickinson that helps her heal the most. At first, Emily Beam hides her past from everyone at the boarding school, but as she reveals her true self, she feels more comfortable in her new home. Just like Emily Dickinson, Emily Beam reveals herself through poems. Dickinson inspired Emily Beam in a way that no one really understood.
This book was not what I was expecting, but when I understood the relationship between Emily Beam and Emily Dickinson, the book became a lot better. I would recommend this book to people who understand poetry well!
