Forbidden love that leads to betrayal, obsession, and finally realization.

I felt Nine in a lot of ways. While reading this book I never got the answer of why my boyfriend broke up with me. Hopefully it didn't end the way it did for her. I guessed the his reason right off the back. Even though this was a teacher/student relationship which shouldn't have happen but it did. I think their relationship could have been great - they connected.
Nine did spiral out of control and half the things she did is out there and wouldn't have even cross my mind. Read this book and if you had a connection with a loved one past or present you will get it and can't hate the teacher.

wavering between 3 & 4 stars on this one. the writing was so lovely and i truly liked the main character, carolina/"nine." i felt for her even as her behavior became more erratic and horrifying. but goodness, was it horrifying.

I would gather to say that this was the most interesting book that I read as a teen.

See, I enjoyed this and felt it was well written but the resolution at the end was just way to abrupt.

Ugh! Overly dramatic and so unrealistic. The main caracter was so sappy... Not my cup of tea.

Okay. I’m going to give credit where it’s due: it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Colour me surprised!
Review to come. I have a lot of thoughts.

Not the worst book taking up this topic.
The writing style was not for me, but I was positively surprised that a man wrote this book with the point of view of a teenage girl dealing with forbidden heartbreak.
Not saying every teenage girl who would have a relationship with a teacher would act like Carolina did, but I could definitely see a real girl act like that.

I wasn't very fond of this book. The writing was great but the story it's self was sad and unsatisfying. I guess it shows that we all have a lot to learn, and often times the hard way. However, it brought up unpleasant feelings that I didn't really enjoy.

Ugh....completely ridiculous! The book actually started out ok. Nine seemed like an intelligent girl who may have been a little mature for her years. It wasn't hard to see how she and Mr. Mann developed a relationship. She isn't what you think a typical high school senior is....she's not into boys, parties, fashion, etc. She pursues him with single-minded determination. Sadly, after their relationship starts, it seems like she loses any sense she ever had and turns into an obsessed stalker who turns criminal. The things that this girl does and gets away with is unbelievable. You actually start to feel sorry for Mr. Mann that he hooked up with someone so severely unbalanced.
