taboos and even more taboos

This is a dark taboo age gap teacher/student romance. It’s ok, though, because she’s 18. They on equal footing (yeah right) and the power dynamics are completely understated (queue sarcasm). Chapter 1 was good. But with the foreshadowing of doom that lingered, I spent half the book waiting for Wesley to become a school shooter. Or for Evan or Maise to be hit by a car with their St. Louis street conversations. But alas, no such twists. I stayed up until 5am reading this book. It could have given me something to shock me. But nope, ended on a HEA
