In Tokyo, where the System siphons thought, emotions & memories, a literature student meets a strange psychic girl and they embark on an escape from mindless agents, dream worlds and reality itself, in a soul-searching journey for love, for identity and what it means to be human. But all that remains is a peculiar coffee shop order. The novel examines the human condition, perception, socio-political systems, capitalism and consumer culture, incorporating paranoiac conspiracy theories, surreal cosmic visions, circular symbolism and shifting parallel worlds, with profound discussions of coffee, art, literature and music. [Dystopia, Magical Realism, Philosophy, Literary] #1 Sci-Fi, Spiritual; #Wattys2014 Award Winner; Featured on Wattpad, IndieReader, @DIGonUSA "Struck me to the very core of my being." "Very interesting concept of reality... Thought provoking.." "I have been turned to a whole new way of thinking because of you." "Like a seven course meal full of spice and illumination... One does not listen to a classical piece to get to its ending. No. It is the ride, the moment by moment...a genuine Masamune among stories." "It was both personable and philosophical. A rare breed of good story and thought provoking ideas... A virtual standing ovation would not be enough to encapsulate the absolute awe I have of you." "It's not a regular thing to find a piece of work that oozes sophistication and embodies literature and art." "The world Takatsu has created opens to the deeper awareness of another, the draw of another." - Mary L Tabor, Wattpad author, essayist, professor "Offers acute, almost painful observations of the minutiae of life, if life took place in a Murakami snow-globe." - IndieReader Insiders "Vapoury style that seems to hover off world at times...haunting and strange (which is good)...You're on to something different, striking." - B.W. Powe, York University English Professor, award-winning author, poet, philosopher http://EspressoLove.tk

I sighed as my eyes connected with his own blue ones. He brushed his hand across my cheek. He could be so infuriating! "Beatrice, you can't run prom everything. This is your life, though you can't always have control. I know it feels like everything is crumbling down beneath your feet, but we both know you're too cunning and stubborn to let yourself fall," he says, his voice ringing with truth. <><><><><><><> Beatrice isn't your average stereotypical geek, though many peg her as one due to her impossible GPA and low social standing of only having two friends. She's contempt with her life in foster care and tight nit group of friends, but what happens when she's paired with her school's far too nice queen bee for a school project? Well, mix in an unsolvable mystery, rekindled crush, and a devastating turn of events coated with heavy sarcasm, and nothing is to be expected. Welcome to A Nerd Girls Life.
