This book is sweet, sexy, and really heartfelt. I’ve got a soft spot for any book that sensitively and skillfully tackles grief, and this one fits the bill. Also, fuck every university for exploiting their adjuncts!

This was cute, but the timeline for me was a big issue. They fall in love pretty hard given that they've known each other for a few days... He keeps saying I didn't know that about you or I haven't seen that outfit before and every single time I'm like YOU HAVE KNOWN HER FOR A WEEK!! I liked that the author had this cool work around with their power imbalance by making her his employee and him her student, but then it's completely obliterated because they just decide to bang anyway and then cannot go two whole weeks without banging again. Are you 17? There's no chance that these people are in their 30s/40s! The class is only a month long, you can't wait that long???? That's not love. That's just plain lust. Which is fine! But we have the internet and sex toys, you don't have to bone your student/employee.........
