Unteachable by Elliot Wake

3.0

I'm partially disappointed. I'm not a fan of the concept so I don't why I went into this story expecting to love it. I didn't love it, I did appreciate how the story was written especially the sex scenes it showed instead of telling her emotions the stereotypical ('Ahhs' and 'Oooohs' are a tad cringey). I didn't really click with the
main character even though I did like that she was self confident but I didn't like the comment she made about bulimia. I like how it wasn't a book centered around the morality of teacher/ student relationships rather it was a plot device to explore the gap between teenage hood and adulthood. I liked the guy at the beginning , i thought he was really sweet but their relationship tainted him in a was I didn't enjoy the greyness of it. I didn't see the purpose of Hiyam, she just seemed to be a repetitive villain character in NA
