Tortured professor, Edward Cullen is barely surviving his days. Grief-stricken over his long lost wife Maggie, he struggles to go through the daily motions of life. He focuses on his work as a professor who teaches historic literature, and otherwise ignores everyone around him - including family. When he walks in to introduce himself to yet another freshmen class, he does not expect for a certain Isabella Swan to walk into his class as a student. It's not her... it's her face that haunts him - because her features line up to be the exact same as his late wife. That same face that haunts his dreams everyday and that same face that belonged to his wife that broke his heart by ending her life by choice. So in turn his anger lashes out at Bella, who has no idea about the weird, yet intense, behaviors of his broken professor.

After having grieved over the tragic death of her mother for quite a while, Bella Swan decides that a change of scenery is exactly what she needs right now. So she packs her bags, leaves Phoenix behind, and moves to the small town of Clearwater, OH. There, she was given a one-year appointment as a professor in the American Studies department at the Newcoven College and managed to find a cute little house. It is also there, that she comes face to face with a tall and handsome young man, whose aloofness and apparent disinterest for those around him fascinate her immensely. Bella soon finds out that his name is Edward Cullen and that he is a tenured professor for art. Through talking to the college librarian Angela as well as Edward's sister Alice (who is also Bella's neighbor), the young woman learns that he is on a half-year sabbatical at the moment and has avoided socializing with others due to a traumatic event three years ago. The passionate artist even stopped making art and shys away from family and friends. Bella cannot help but feel drawn to the gorgeous man and is soon overcome with a desire to help him to once again become the person he used to be. But Edward isn't the only one suffering from his past...

I had heard a lot good things about this story but, until recently, never found myself in the right mood to read it. However, now that I've finally done so, I'm incredibly happy. This story is differs immensely from most other TwiFics out there. It is very descriptive and will describe the characters' feelings as well as the world they live in by using wonderful metaphors and colorful language. Edward, in this story, is as human as can be. He is a young man, who isn't exempt from making mistakes and having to learn certain lessons of life the hard way. He and Bella develop a strong connection, probably one of the strongest ever written. They help each other through the mess that is their lives; neither of them being perfect - at all. The supporting characters complete this wonderful fanfiction, which is mostly written from Bella's POV but with some EPOV thrown in here and there. They are one big, amazing family that you cannot help but love to be a part of! Even though it's often angsty and heavy on the emotions, I can only advice you to read this story. It's a true gem!

Branching Inward consists of 28 chapters and a total of 165,203 words. The story is rated M for angst, description of sexual, and foul language.

Together with her close friend Alice, twenty-eight year old Bella Swan works for the Seattle Police Department as a detective for the narcotics division. When FBI agent Rosalie Hale comes into the department to ask for reinforcements in order to bring down a drug ring involving juveniles, she assigns three of the most youthful looking members of the team to pose as high school: Alice, Bella, and Emmett. Once at school, their goal is to try and find out who is dealing with illegal drugs and where they're coming from. They have to make sure that they act and behave like young adolescents and to not stick out too much. For the most part, the assignment doesn’t appear to be very difficult… That is until Bella meets her handsome new English teacher: Mr. Edward Masen.

Edward Masen hasn’t dated much after breaking up with his girlfriend of five years and in turn, throws himself into his work. However, having an interest in dating or not, Edward is the object of many affections and heavily lusted after by the majority of the school’s females - both students and staff. Edward never cared about the attention he receives, that is, until he meets a new student that he begins to have a hard time resisting. To Edward, Bella’s a beautiful and intelligent student with a bright future, and to whom he feels an incredible attraction. Though he fights hard to get romantically involved with her, the moment comes when they can no longer fight the connection between them. Being together brings risks for both of them: Edward could lose his job for initiating a relationship with a ‘student’ and Bella feels the need to protect Edward from the dangers of her job. But when both are faced with a moral dilemma, will ethics be damned?

I stumbled upon Ethics Be Damned after reading another one of Krazyk85’s fanfictions. Though every one of her stories has a different style, they’re all very well written and will hook the reader. The story is written in both Edward’s and Bella’s point of view. It’s safe to say that it didn’t take me very long to finish it. The characters are different from the original we fell in love with: they’re rougher around the edges, having been hardened by life but they’re just as dazzling. Krazyk85 does a wonderful job with the details of the investigation told in this story as well as the moral issues that come along with having relationships such as Bella and Edward do in this story. This is not a story to miss! It’s a great read and goes by faster than it probably should.

Ethics Be Damned consists of 35 chapters and 197,691 words. It is rated Rated MA for violence, sexual content, and language.

When her husband Jacob reveals that he is in love with another woman, Bella decides that enough is enough. With her marriage broken and her beloved father dead, there is nothing that keeps her in Seattle anymore. So she packs her belongings and throws a dart at a map of the United States. It lands in the small town of St. Louis in Missouri. She finds a position as a teacher at an elementary school in Kansas City and buys a small condo. It is while moving into her new home that Bella meets Edward, his brother Emmett, and their good friend Jasper. She is also warmly welcomed by her new neighbors Alice and Rose, who give her fashion and dating advice whenever they can. Though Edward has made a lasting impression on Bella the two kind of lose touch and don’t see each other again until the handsome young music professor walks into Bella’s new class room, accompanied by his cute little six-year old daughter, Carlie…

As both Edward and Bella don’t get each other out of their minds, it doesn’t take long until they start dating. Though the fact that Bella is Carlie’s teacher makes their relationship difficult, the two are not discouraged by it. They know their feelings run deeper than mere attraction and both are ready to start a new chapter in their lives. Unfortunately, there are a few things that keeps them from living their happily ever after, namely Bella’s ex-husband Jake and Edward’s past acquaintance Carmen. A few years ago, the latter was the one, who introduced Edward to the secrets of BDSM relationships and taught him the secrets of the female body. Though Bella is open to try out a few things with Edward in the bedroom (and enjoying his sexual expertise immensely), she is furious when Carmen suddenly appears in St. Louis and wants her former Sub back…

First and foremost, Gateway to the Heart is not a BDSM fanfiction in the classical sense. You won’t read about whips and chains, but some more unusual methods of love making. Though it might not be everyone’s cup of tea (personally, I’m not a fan of BDSM myself), the subject is tackled in a very delicate way and has been “downgraded” immensely. Edward is unwilling to inflict pain on Bella and she on the other hand has her limits with what she wants to do as well. That said, you need to decide for yourselves if you feel up to a story like that. Naturally, because of the BDSM influence and the couples strong sex drive, the fanfiction is rated MA. Moreover, it is written from both characters’ perspectives, resulting in some repetitions along the way. Getaway to the Heart is filled with likeable characters (first and foremost Emmett), very funny moments (Carlisle dressed as a princess is priceless), and lots of love. Add some drama to it and you have another wonderful story by samekraemer! Make sure to check it out!

Gateway to the Heart consists of 38 chapters and a total of 265,603 words. The story is rated MA for graphic description of sexual relations, references of BDSM, and foul language.

Bella Swan is a hardworking young woman who struggles to provide for herself and her two siblings after her parents' death. The oldest child in the family, she already had to take over the heavy responsibility at a very young age and despite the many years that have passed, still struggles to make ends meet today. She has three different jobs each day and still makes just enough to go by. Bella worries about not being able to properly care about her two younger siblings, whom she puts before everything and everyone else. Whether she is hungry or not doesn't matter to the young woman; what does matter is that she can feed her brother and sister and save some money for their college education. As a result, Bella's lack of nutrition and proper education have made her become thin and unable to write and read. That said, she can only take menial jobs, one of them being a janitor of the University of Washington. That's where she runs into Professor Edward Cullen, who is yelling more often than not (though not always at her), causing her to be nervous.

Edward is a rich and intelligent young man, who has been teaching at UW for a very long time now. However, he has absolutely no patience for failing students and his respect for the maintenance staff is mediocre at best. Furthermore, after his biological mother left him at an early age, Edward developed a certain kind of hatred for women. He considers them to be liars, ready to betray him and others the moment they see their chance. He fulfills his desire to be the dominant and take over control by regularly using an escort service and engaging in rather rough sexual activities. However, his view on women changes the more he learns about Bella. When Edward and Bella meet for the first time he takes his foul mood out on the young girl. Yet as time goes by and the two run into each other more often, he realizes that Bella intrigues him, most probably because she seems to put other people's needs before her own - an act so selfless that Edward feels drawn to her. After finding out about her horrible situation, he decides to hire her at his personal restaurant - remember, he's rich - as well as his personal cook at his home. Although hesitant at first, Bella cannot refuse an (well-paid) offer like that. Soon, Edward and Bella start developing feelings for each other and become very close. They begin sharing their pasts with each other, realizing that they both have something to fight for. Will the two be able to fall in love or will reality be in the way?

His Cimmerian View is a great story and I find myself wanting to read it over and over again! The story has received tremendous popularity within the Twilight fandom, yet there are still many people out there who have not read - I hope my review will change that! They characters are extremely OOC, especially Bella, but you will fall in love with her and the others regardless. WeeKittyAndTAT has created a very realistic story line and readers get hooked from the very first chapter. The fact that the story has both Edward's perspective allows you to understand his motivations and actions a lot better - which makes the flow of the story really good. Personally, Bella's life is something that I am able to emotionally connect with, even though I (thankfully) didn't have to go through her plight. The fanfiction will definitely grab your full attention - I promise, it isn't anything like you have read before. Oh, and don't hesitate to read this story just because Bella is an illiterate; trust me, although she can't read and write, she can speak and that is all she needs to fall in love with Edward (and make him fall for her). Besides, who says she is not going to learn language while she's with Edward ;)? A WONDERFUL story that is a must read! Maid-ella and Rich-ward ROCK!

His Cimmerian View consists of 35 chapters and a total of 341,980 words. The story is rated MA for language and graphic description of sexual activities.

At the tender age of nine, Bella Swan started both seeing and hearing the dead, whose those souls are still roaming the Earth because of unfinished business. Whether they seek revenge for an unnatural death or are unable to end the connection they have with important people from their old lives, the souls of the dead that Bella sees cannot seem to find the peace they need to finally leave the world behind. In order to help them find their way, Bella uses her rare gift to communicate with the dead and passes their messages on to their loved ones. Never in her life, did she perceive that her ability to talk with ghosts as anything but a huge liability; something she was never grateful for. Still, she continues helping many lost souls crossing over to the light and finding peace. So with the help of her good and equally gifted friend Alice, she seeks out the renowned Professor Edward Cullen. Bella sees a small girl, not older than eight years, who she soon is able to identify as the professor's daughter. The latter is giving a speech on parapsychology when Bella decides to confront Edward with the fact that his daughter is dead and that she didn't die from natural causes...

Although Edward is skeptic of Bella's abilities, he cannot help but start to believe her once she starts talking about his daughter Hayley. Until then, the professor always thought that his little girl was "only" missing, yet now he is confronted with her violent death. Bella tells him that Hayley cannot speak to her as water comes out of her mouth every time she tries to speak; leaving Edward devastated and broken. Hayley had been his everything despite the fact that she was born at a stage in his life where being a father was far from being on his mind. The connection father and daughter developed was immensely strong and perhaps the reason the little girl was still tied to the Earth - she couldn't leave this world behind knowing her father was hurting so badly. So with the help of Bella, Hayley communicates with her dad and the three start investigating her death. How did she die? A story full of mysteries and questions begins. Revelations are made; yet when the case is finally closed will Edward be able to let go of his daughter? Will Bella's love for him be enough for him to spend the rest of his life happily?

This is a very unique story by ericastwilight, and I say that in a very positive way! Even though MSB usually doesn't review AU stories, some are just too good not to be rec'ed. Ultimately, this story is AH but with a slight supernatural twist. The story is very fast-paced so that, at the end of the first chapter, you will definitely be hooked and eager to learn more. What I love most about this story is the deep connection between Edward and Hayley. They share such a strong bond that even after her death, Hayley stays grounded to Earth, willing to make sure her father isn't suffering. She watches him sleeping in her bed every night and often listens to him whispering words of love. Without ensuring his peace of mind, there is no way she can ever get peace. And when Bella comes along with her amazing ability, she is the link that brings the two of them back together again, at least sort of. She Speaks Fear and Truth is extremely heart-warming and daddyward's grief will surely bring out some tears in your eyes. I promise you that this fanfiction is SO worth the read; don't ignore it just because the summary says it is AU, because the story is a lot more than that. Hats off to ericastwilight for writing such an amazing fanfiction - I really enjoyed it and have no doubts you readers will too!

She Speaks Fear and Truth consists of 14 chapters and a total of 45,467 words. The story is rated M for language, strong emotions, and some sexual references. A sequel is currently being published, Denver Paranormal Society.

Together with her best friend Alice Whitlock, Bella Swan makes sure that Seattle's brides get the weddings of their dreams. The two own "I Thee Wed", a successful wedding planner company that is widely known in the area and are being employed by some of the most affluent of Seattle's socialites whom they help in picking China, dresses, and photographers. When the story starts, the two friends are completely immersed in the organization of the Weber-Cullen wedding, one of their bigger projects of the year. And though the whole event will cost the two families a fortune, neither the bride nor the groom are very interested and involved in the planning process.

Whenever Bella isn't at work, she spends time with her 10-year-old nephew Henry, the son of her brother Emmett. The latter is divorced from Rosalie, Henry's mother, and as they can hardly seem to stand each other's company, their son is often seeking refuge at his aunt's place. Henry also has a talent for playing the guitar, which is why he takes extra classes. One day, when Bella picks up her nephew from one of those classes, she runs into Edward, his music teacher. Their attraction is instantaneous and thanks to a meddling Henry the three of them end up grabbing dinner at McDonald's. Edward and Bella can both feel the electricity flowing between them and make plans to meet again. The next evening, they go to a club, Skylark, and spend hours talking, eating, and dancing. And though they are more than perfect for each other, Edward doesn't contact Bella after that night. Confused and hearbroken, Bella tries to forget her more than perfect match but is unsuccessful. She can't help but go back to the club that holds so many great memories for her and is suddenly enveloped by a pair of  strong arms. Her Edward is back but Bella has to learn the hard way why he tried to distance himself from her. Because Edward Cullen is going to be married. To Angela Weber. And Bella is their wedding planner...

Two things are important to know when it comes to this story: one, nothing is as it seems - NOTHING; and two, there is a big HEA waiting for you guys, I promise. After all, SydneyAlice would never leave you hanging in this regard and I Thee Wed is definitely no exception to that. Moreover, it includes one of the sweetest Edwards ever written as he really worships the ground Bella walks on. He knows right away that she is it for him, something that makes his secret even more unbearable. The young teacher hurts in more ways than one and it's heartbreaking to read how conflicted (and stubborn) he is. The love between Bella and Edward might seem sudden to some and their feelings might seem too strong too fast, but it's just one of those times when two people who were always meant for each other meet and sparks fly. If you can get used to that, you will thorougly enjoy this fanfic. The story is written from both POVs, which means the reader smells the drama long before the characters do. Last but not least, IF this fanfic has a flaw then that is that it's rated T, which means absolutely no lemony goodness waiting for you. However, the story is still worth reading, trust me, it's really well written and full of drama - so give it a try!

I Thee Wed consists of 19 chapters and 68,377 words. The story is rated M for profanities.

Edward Cullen is trapped in a life he never would have chosen for himself. After four years of being with Tanya, an attractive yet very choleric young woman, towards whom he never felt anything but friendship, his and her family want nothing more then for him to propose. Caving in, Edward buys an engagement ring but can't help but think that asking her to marry him would not be the right thing to do. He is brought up from his thoughts when he hears a loud crash and watches a car hit a fancy looking SUV before running off. Edward sprints over to the car and finds a beautiful young woman slumped over the steering wheel. In the few seconds she's conscious she says her name is Bella, mumbles that she doesn't have family that needs to be contacted, and begs him not leave her side. Weirdly drawn to and fascinated by Bella, Edward is unable to leave her alone. He rides with her to the hospital where a nurse watches him pull out the ring he was meant to give Tanya. Before he knows it, Edward is taken for Bella's fiancé, fills out as much paperwork as he can in her name (based on what he finds in her purse) and visits her day after day...

Edward sits by her bed daily and talks to her sweetly. This woman he doesn't know at all has completely messed with his mind and he has no explanation why. Edward often touches her hand, kisses her cheek or temple, and enjoys feeling this wonderful buzzing that goes through his body whenever he does. After her surgery Bella is slowly getting better and starts to react to Edward's tender caresses. Days turn into weeks, which turn into months, and not a single day passes without Edward being at Bella's side. Shortly after she was brought to the hospital he was told that she's pregnant (and of course everyone assumes it's his) and Edward loves hardly anything more than watching her belly grow and feel the baby move. The longer he spends time with Bella the more he realizes that he has fallen fast and hard for her - a woman he hasn't spoke more than three sentences to. It isn't until Bella's slightly crazy family appears that Edward finds out his "Sleeping Beauty" might not be who he thinks and hopes she is. A dark past lays behind her and no one seems to be able to give him answers to his many questions. To make matters worse, Tanya completely loses control when Edward breaks up with her and no one knows what will happen once Bella wakes from her coma...

This story is absolutely fantastic! Because Bella isn't conscious for close to half of the story means that all the focus lays on Edward (a third-person narrator tells the story from his perspective). Yet even though we don't have any kind of interaction between our favorite couple for a long time, the story is never boring and also doesn't lack romance! Edward is absolutely sweet with her and does everything in his power to make her feel better! He even takes care of Jake, Bella's puppy! The reader just can't wait for Bella to wake up but there's always this dreading feeling in the back of one's head that she might not appreciate everything Edward does for her. It's obvious that these two belong together but while Edward had months familiarizing himself with his love and her family, Bella won't even remember talking to him the day of the accident once she opens her eyes. While You Were Knocked Out Cold is a wonderfully realistic story with a happy ending and a HILARIOUS Charlie. Let me just give you one example: Charlie finds out that his daugther is pregnant and assumes Edward is the father. Renee hugs her future son-in law but Charlie is less than amused: "Renee, let the man breathe. I want him coherent when I strangle him to death." :D Yes, that's Mr. Swan for you! Read this fanfiction, it's really wonderful!

While You Were Knocked Out Cold consists of 36 chapters and a total of 87,530 words. The story is rated M for angst and foul language.

The story begins with a normal bunch of high schools teachers having a drink at a bar. Bella and her fellow co-workers and friends start talking about the hot new PE teacher Edward Cullen and it just so turns out that he and Bella are paired together to teach Sex-Ed for the year. Awkward much? So the two start to plan their lessons during fourth period and despite the uncomfortable topic that caused them to get together, there is a instant friendship between them. As they go through lesson after lesson with crazy students and embarrassing encounters, Edward and Bella slowly progress in their personal relationship.

It turns out that "SexEd-ward" has not really had a real girlfriend since high school and only dated one girl back when he was in Boy's Boarding School. Well, don't worry, Edward, Bella is there for you! Suddenly one of the two teachers given the task to educate their students about an uncomfortable topic, is shown what all that means in reality by the the other teacher. Good old Bella shows Edward how each base is really covered but will they be able to stop with that? As teachers they are supposed to make rational decisions, with the best interest in mind, but will they be able to apply that rule to themselves?

I read this story in one sitting as I simply couldn't stop till I was done with it. The chemistry between Bella and Edward, combined with their immediate attraction, is beautifully captured by TheFicChick. Although the first sexual encounter between the two is quite shocking, the author was able to brilliantly capture the sweet beginning of a new relationship and, together with crazy friends and heavy pasts, managed to mix it into one great story. You should definitely read it if you are looking for some romance and humor all in one! A fanfiction that will have you laughing at the couple's awkward moments with their crazy students and sighing sweetly at their blooming romance! A story that will definitely keep you hooked and light-hearted at the same time - not to be missed!

Bella Swan calls herself lucky because she is the adopted daughter of billionaire Phil Dwyer and has all the luxuries in the world. She knows very well that there probably isn't any other young woman her age who lives the life she does, yet still  she isn't really content. After her father, Charlie, died in the line of duty as a police officer in Forks, she was forced to go live a different, lavish lifestyle with her mother Renee in New York. Renee was, to put it candidly, nothing but a gold-digger who neither really understood the value of a lasting relationship nor has ever been a good mother to her daughter. Instead, her pretentious personality strived to do everything a member of the high society would do and it comes as no surprise when she enrolls Bella in an art appreciation class without asking her first. As the children of Renee's friends have done exactly the same with their kids, Renee is determined to send her daughter to the class as well. Though Bella is hesitant at first, she soon goes along with her mother's decision as it would at least enable her to maintain her grades. What she didn't expect was to meet Edward Cullen...

Despite the intense pull they feel towards each other, Edward and Bella try to maintain the civil relationship of teacher and student. However, Edward is only four years older than Bella and mesmerizes her not only with his good looks but also with the world of art he creates. But even though it gets harder and harder to stay away from each other, he keeps pushing her away. More than once, Bella watches him meet older, rich women and before she knows it, Edward is gone. All the colors and art he had created within her immediately disappear and the young girl mourns the loss of the man who had the potential to be everything to her.

It is years before they meet again (though only after about three chapters in the story) and instantly the magnetic pull they felt for one another is back again. Neither of them has forgotten the other and the intense feelings they harbored, yet the possibility of being together seems even slimmer than before. Because while Edward was gone, Renee forced Bella into an engagement with a workaholic. As a struggling young artist, Edward sees no chance to be able to compete with the rich and successful fiancé. Also, Bella feels more frustrated than ever with the life she is trapped in but will she be ready to leave? And would Edward chase after her and manage to gain her trust back?

The Art Teacher is an excellent fanfic that spurs all kinds of sentiments. The reader experiences the  entire story through Bella's eyes and one can instantly understand and relate with her feeling of being trapped in a rich lifestyle she doesn't want. Also, the static she experiences when she is with Edward is almost palpable. Spangly9 is one of my favorite authors and she never ceases to amaze me with her capability to make the reader feel as if they are actually living it. She realistically portrays the conflicts between Edward and Bella: the difference in status, lifestyle, and age, the insecurities with their careers, and their immense need to be with each other completely. Though Edward leaves Bella for a couple of years/chapters, The Art Teacher has definitely a sweet HEA and contains some hot smut. Furthermore, Alice has a beautiful, but significant role as Bella's best friend, who supports her no matter what. Although Alice is depicted as Bella's close friend in multiple fanfics I think this story really shows why she is so important. A great story will that keep you up at nights! Please read it, otherwise you will be missing something!!

The Art Teacher consists of 16 chapters and 97,635 words. The story is rated M for language and hot lemons.

After helping her friend cleaning up the mess of an amazing party, Bella finds herself waiting for her train at Ravenscourt Park station. Though the young woman works half time as a teacher at a local school, her real passion is writing. She just recently published her first book successfully and is now hastily making notes for the sequel while waiting for the tube to arrive. Once the carriages are in front of her she makes her way inside and sits down. After taking a thorough look at her fellow passengers Bella peeks through the glass window separating her carriage from the next and lays eyes upon a stunning bronze mob of hair...

Bella cannot help but stare at the gorgeous man, who is reading while listening to his ipod. It doesn't take long, however, and the object of her affection looks up and right into her eyes. He then scribbles a not on a piece of paper, holds it up and shows it to Bella. She laughs and reads that his name is Edward. The two start a sweet conversation via paper notes until Bella's station approaches and she leaves the tube to head for the connection train. It is then that she hears a wonderful velvet voice who belongs to no other but the friendly stranger with the bronze hair. Bella and Edward happen to head in the same direction and decide to spend their journey home together. And what happens the next couple of minutes is nothing short of magical...

What a wonderful and immensely well written little story! The idea of letting Edward and Bella meet on a train and communicate via notes is adorable and so, so sweet! Edward is feeling the same weird connection as Bella does and behaves slightly jealous and possessive when some teenage boys join their carriage. But Bella is far from innocent either and is not too amused to find a girl with big boobs hitting on her newfound friend! Yes, this story does not contain any lemons and, believe it or not, not a single swear word (whether there will be some kissing involved I'll let you find out yourselves). But trust me, even though this fanfic is rated K it is full of sweet young love, cute gestures, and tons of fluff!

Tube consists of five chapters and 9,580 words. The story is rated K and thus suitable for readers of all ages.

After Bella graduated from university she is looking for a job as an English teacher. Because she always despised the rainy and dull climate of her home state Washington, she decides to move to some place warmer. Sooner said than done, Bella finds herself in Parma, Florida and gets a job at the local high school. On the first day in the sunshine state, she meets Edward, one handsome specimen of a man. Bella later finds out that Edward is one of her colleagues at Parma and teaches English as well. The two hit it off soon and get closer and closer to each other. Yet, when Bella thinks they are going to go third base, Edward makes a rather shocking confession: he will live celibately until he meets the woman he's going to marry. Huh. Wonder why? Read the story!

It is always great to have an author who let's his/her own experiences at work be part of his/her story. Lady Gwynedd is a teacher herself and lives in Florida. Thus, she really knows what she's talking about, which makes this story so authentic. To top it of, Parma High is very funny, especially because of little Poncho and Bella's stoned mom. It's a joy to read!

Parma High consists of 33 chapters and a total of 126,373 words. All characters are human. The story is rated T and thus suitable for teens over 13 years of age.
