Teach Me by Olivia Dade

---

I'm refraining from rating because as a former high school teacher, this book hit too close to home and was sort of a full-time cringe-fest. It's incredibly difficult to depict a good teacher on the page, and the hero-worship of the main characters plays into the narrative of teachers as caretakers (and not professionals). I also have very little tolerance for plotlines involving any sort of abuse (professional or otherwise) that is wrapped up in a neat little bow. It's not a feel-good fantasy; it minimizes the energy and pain real people experience when holding people in power accountable. All in all, I won't be returning to this series.
