One reader found the epistolatory form of Love Emma 'most unusual' but wasn't over-impressed by the story which 'you might have found in a photo story in Blue Jeans or such like'. The letters are mainly about Emma's social life. She is a first-year student nurse for whom bedpans and truculent patients rate only a casual mention as she concentrates on the pursuit of student doctor Luke, plus a self-opinionated young policemen and a careless window-cleaner who fell off his ladder. My 4th-year girls saw it on my desk and are queuing to read it. As Emma says in her diary. 'life's not like it is in magazine stories, but I never stop hoping it will be.'
