As if glorifying and romanticising grooming wasn’t enough they made the main character the biggest petulant child ever reinforcing the fact she should NOT be seeing her teacher regardless of the age gap. Poetry was also ass.

Reading a book about a student/teacher relationship was not on my itinerary for this year, but here we are. If I wanted to read wattpad, I would go on wattpad. I do not need that kind of low-effort problematic romance when I choose to read an actual book. I think my personal favourite part was when **spoilers** a nine year old boy dressed up as his mother's cancerous lungs for Halloween, and said mother willingly made the costume. If someone hadn't already bought me the rest of the series, I wouldn't touch either of the following books with a ten foot pole, but unfortunately they're on my bedroom floor so I guess I have to read them. The only thing stopping this book from being one star was the fact that it was so damn easy to read. I flew through it, and I hated every second of it.
