2.0

So I'm a bookseller. I like to keep track of the "taboo" books that come out for teens because parents can be nuts. There's no way I could justify selling this to a teen. The more I think about it, I would rate this 1.5 if I could. This book felt like the author had good intentions but lost where she was going in flimsy storylines and glorifying the relationship between the two. Beatrice loses her virginity to this guy and then lies to the police to save their relationship but finds out he drunkenly had sex with another underage girl, who lied about her age and looked older, And that is unacceptable to her! It's laughable. Especially since he obviously loves her and after she turns eighteen, keeps helping her and trying to talk with her. Ultimately, this book was about a girl who lusted after her teacher and then used him.
