DID NOT FINISH: 71%

I loved the beginning of this book but it got SO PLOTTY and I was over two-thirds of the way through it but I just didn’t care about the characters. At all. It was a series of events with zero emotional impact. 


A teacher x student romance where he’s known her since she was 10??? Really??? Say sike right now, Rebecca. 

This was the final series I needed to tackle from her backlist, and I’ve loved every single one of her other books…until now. Needless to say I’m UPSET.

I enjoyed it in the beginning, it was exciting and I was intrigued. The last few chapters were a bit... Boring and also quite hard to follow
