I can’t make myself rate this book. It’s probably the most disturbing thing I’ve ever read, and it would make me physically nauseous often. My bedside Tums were my BFF for this one. 

Twenty-six-year-old teacher. Fourteen-year-old boys. Very, very, very graphic. 

I will say that this is well-written and I liked the author’s style. I feel like I need a lava bath after reading this, so I’m not sure how the author feels after living in Celeste’s head for this long. An ambitious project, but a disturbing read.
