High school sophomore Elisa is used to observing while going unnoticed except when classmates ask her to write love notes for them, but a teacher's recognition of her talent, a "client's" desire for her friendship, a love of ice-skating, and her parents' marital problems draw her out of herself.

This is a lovely book, full of pain and emotion and poetry and atmosphere. The simplified summary is this: Elisa ghostwrites love notes for the boys in her school and practices ice skating in secret on the pond near her house. When she falls for one of her customers, though, she starts wanting to be less “undercover” and more her own poet.
I am not an ice skater or a dancer. But this book made me want nothing more than to glide across a frozen lake, dancing to the sounds of winter.
