Read September 2025
Ugh, this was just so clunky... It read like a bad first draft (which, let’s be honest, it might have been considering it was written in like 2006, or so, and then published in 2022, with minimal editing, after the author passed away the year before.)
Also, I’m always surprised when there’s this much sexism in a novel written by a woman (though granted, it was written many years ago) Oh, and of course the gay teacher sexually assaults a student.. Should have just DNFed this to be honest.
