Once again I’m the minority on a book. This was my fault, I really should have read some reviews before I started reading this book. I saw this at Barnes and Nobles and decided to pick this up. BIG MISTAKE! I was so annoyed while reading this my eyes should be stuck in the back of my head from rolling them so much.
Riley is one of the most annoying and self-centered characters I have read about in a while. She is an overachiever, she gets good grades and even volunteers for good causes. She’s a good girl.
If I would have know that majority of the book was about 17 year old girl having an affair with her very older MARRIED teacher I would not have read this. Hell, I still don’t know what I just read.
The author tried to make this a mystery and somewhat thriller but it fell so short on that aspect. The execution of it was not there for me.
I’m still confused by that ending. Everything just worked out so perfectly in the end. Was that coincidence or planned? As a reader this was completely frustrating. I would have liked more explanation than it just ending like that.
It was a quick read but thats all I have to say left about it.
