The story is told through the format of e-mail. Georgie is a fan of Dylan, a teen actor in a soap. She e-mails him a few times and tells him of her love for him and also a little bit about her life. At first, the response e-mail seems automated and generic, but slowly they are addressed to her personally and contain words of wisdom and advice. She is then told that 'Dylan's' e-mails are actually written by his mum Nancy. After the initial shock and anger Georgie and Nancy become e-mates and Nancy is a constant source of comfort for Georgie while she is going through a very traumatic personal life - bad friendships, boyfriends, an abusive step-dad and the loss of her dad in a motorbike accident.
Humorous but melancholic.
