DID NOT FINISH: 54%

The 16 year old fmc starts sleeping with her 38 THIRTY EIGHT male English teacher. Everyone is cheating on each other, no one is happy, AND HES GROOMING HER. I'm googling to find out who gets killed.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 STARS, THUMBS UP 👍🏼 

content warnings for this book are: sexual predator behavior, csa, grooming of a minor

wow. mcfadden has done it again! another thrilling, enticing book! granted, while the subject matter disturbed me greatly, mcfadden handled it with finesse; no romanticizing of it at all.

the book is split up into three parts and told from the perspective of multiple people. it tells the story of addie, a sixteen-year-old student at caseham high school; her math teacher, eve bennett; and eve’s husband, nate bennett, an english teacher at the same school— and the terrible web of lies and manipulation that is woven throughout the book.

honestly, i started this book at 11:30pm and it’s about to be 8:30pm as i write this review. it had me that hooked! there are characters you distrust and dislike, which mcfadden does a good job at, i’ve noticed. because then you never know who to trust! you’re always suspicious of what’s going on.

overall, even though i did not see some twists coming, i was going along for the ride until the very end. seriously, 10/10! solid job, mcfadden!

Grooming…and then more grooming…then we find out about more grooming…and then it follows with GUESS WHAT…grooming. Still a good book though.
