Did I even like this book? (Yes) Truly couldn’t tell you.
I’m just kidding this book was genius. The end made me question the entire book. I don’t know it was just very unique and I have to give it props. I’m left here not quite knowing how to feel, especially since there’s no epilogue.
I adored the writing. It was lyrical, stunning. Hooked me from the first sentence. This was without a doubt one of the most unique books I’ve ever read. New adult, taboo, student-teacher romance … but beautiful? Maybe even poetic? Yeah it was interesting.
I was trying to get away from beautifully written books because they fuck with my head. They make me feel too much, and I’m emotional to begin with. I definitely wasn’t expecting this book to make me feel what it did. This was angsty, this was … a lot.
I just want to say that first scene at the carnival was like a movie. This entire book felt like a movie. Honestly it would make an amazing movie. (How many times can I say movie)
SPOILERS‼️
Maise’s character was so compelling. I find it hard to read characters like her because they are my polar opposite. I usually just end up feeling a bit empty after. And yeah I do feel like that but, that’s a me thing, not the books fault. I felt bad for Maise, even though she took control of her life, I always feel that way about female characters who act like her. It’s almost like I’m jealous of the way they live life. I know that makes me sound fucked up, but the book was just really well written.
Wesley, oh Wesley. He was without a doubt my favorite character. Probably because I relate the most with him… yeah

This was an interesting subject matter. When I read the blurb, I thought it was a college student/professor relationship. I didn't realize it's a relationship between a high school senior and her teacher. The author's writing is very descriptive, in a way I haven't read it quite some time; therefore, I enjoyed it.
As far as the ending, a part of me wished it would've ended the opposite way it did, but I'm also fine with the outcome that did happen.

Sign me up for more Leah Raeder because this was such a delicious book.
Ehhhhh. Just wasn't for me. No connection with the characters or plot. Boohiss.
It wasn't what I was actually expecting, and by that, I mean I wasn't expecting for all the sex scenes. I kinda skipped the part in bold at the beginning of the description, and that bold part was purposely in bold to get my attention, but well. it didn't.
Anyways, all I'm trying to say is that it was an okay book to me.
a bit f*cked-up to me but okay.
god, I loved Wesley. He was so nice, why do nice boys always love the wrong girls?
I had a little problem with the language used in the book. The word fuck was used in every single sentence of that book.
By the end of the book, my love for Evan had dimmed a little but well, I still loved him
LIKED IT A LOT, BUT DIDN'T LOVE IT AS MUCH AS IM USED TO LOVE A BOOK WHEN I REALLY DO.

but well, I'm glad that her mother accepted the cure and that Hiyam got to leave. Hated that bitch so much!! Ugh!! and I'm glad that she found in Sobhian a sort of mother. she needed that. and Wesley was a good friend.LIKED IT A LOT, BUT DIDN'T LOVE IT AS MUCH AS IM USED TO LOVE A BOOK WHEN I REALLY DO.
A fairly decent NA romance novel. I really enjoyed the almost lyrical prose used to describe scenes like the carnival etc. I was a little disappointed in the ending, but over all I liked this book.
DNF. Simply couldn't read more of this story. She's just turned 18 and has been having sex with older men for a few years now when she spots the H. He's 32 and unbeknownst to both of them, is one of her new high school teachers. The age gap isn't the problem, it's not even a problem that he's her teacher, I simply didn't like either one of the characters. They both come off as superficial and their relationship is having sex. Secrets and lies are not sexy, nor make a relationship.
