This book is cringy to ready due to the horrific content it discusses. However, part of the magic of books is evoking emotion and this book did that. It discusses the very real reality that many young people face when sexualized by people in positions of power such as teachers.

I understand the author was trying to make the reader uncomfortable however I did give 4 stars because some of the graphic sections were unnessesarily long and overkill IMO.

Review to be posted soon! What an interesting read this was.

Nope. No review. I don't even think I can accurately review it, so I am just going to throw some thoughts down. This is a different take on the ever popular student/teacher affair novels.
But let's be honest. Celeste is a pedophile. This story was so much more than any other of it's kind I have read. It was explicit and graphic and not for the squeamish. Getting into the mind of a female predator is a new one for me. I was completely fascinated by this story and while some parts were difficult to stomach, I couldn't put it down.

The type of book that I hate how much I like it. Very challenging to read but it does bring a lot to light that I did not notice about the concept of hebephilia crazy concept and how hiprocrate the world is when the predator is a women.
