![]() ![]() ![]() In general, basically nothing happens in this book. I feel like the author wanted to write something taboo, but was afraid to go too far. If you’re like me and have a slight obsession with teacher/student novels, I say skip this one. It wasn’t terrible, I didn’t hate it, no however I didn’t like it either and I wouldn’t recommend it. I can't talk it up enough, but I don't want to spoil it for you, either.Īfter finishing this novel I really don’t know how to feel. Her crush on Drummond is so familiar but without any creepiness (it was masterfully written) but without really making you root for the underage girl to be seduced by the older man (this is not Pretty Little Liars) but BETTER because that's not just it. ![]() Her relationships – with family, with friend(s) – are like a page out of an awkward teen's memory. The characters, namely Charlie, are so real that it hurts. Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall (which is still her best book to date) is a close second, but this debut is beyond better than you could imagine. The copy is wrong in some ways, but so right in others: It's comparable to John Green and Sarah Dessen when they're ON ( Fault, Will Grayson and Truth about Forever), but still pales in comparison (and I enjoy both greatly). At least before it gets banned in like 20 states (for all the wrong reasons, natch). I want to throw all the awards at this book (you can quote me on that). ![]()
