Unteachable by Elliot Wake
Did not finish book.
DNF @ 80%
I'm DNFing because this book just isn't going anywhere. The first half is basically just the two main characters fucking. There has been some like side-plot kinda stuff going on, but it feels really random and kinda just like its part of the plot as an excuse for a book about a student screwing their teacher to exist. At 80% i've seen no character development, and I can't really see the plot going towards an ending that is in any way redeemable. Also, this book really romanticises the story [b:Lolita|7604|Lolita|Vladimir Nabokov|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1377756377l/7604._SY75_.jpg|1268631], and if you didn't already know my opinions on that whole shit-show, I highly suggest reading my heated review here. [EDIT: I've re-read Lolita since & my opinions have changed on the book as a whole, but not the romanticism of the romanticism of the Lolita character, thus its still applicable here]
2 ⭐ because like it wasn't THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD. It just wasn't good, and like it was very shallow and surface level. Dont really know who might enjoy this book.. Maybe people who read purely erotic fiction & don't care too much about the quality of the story? People who loved the 50 Shades series? Idk. Sorry not sorry.
