bookparty 's review for:
The Whole Golden World
by Kristina Riggle
I'd give this book 4.25 Stars ;-) (Trying to be more critical!).
I read it because of an recommendation and it's just a topic that I like to read about in general. (Teacher & student relationship, no...I'm not a pervert :P)
At first I thought that this might be quite similar to other books in that genre and I was a bit taken aback because we get to know about the outcome of everything in the first chapter already. But, at the same time it's a book that's quite different.
First of all, the story is told from the point of view of three women. The student, her mother & the wife of the teacher. It's certainly no New Adult erotica or anything. It really deals with the emotional rollercoaster you go through when you are a teenager and think you are on top of the world and trying to behave like an adult. But deep down, you are not, and you only see it this way when you are older and are able to reflect on your feelings for a while.
I really loved that it's not just a lovey dovey romance, but focuses more on what stays after & how it all influences the life of the people around you.
