CW: adult/minor relationship & CP

The teacher enters the relationship with the children in this book fully. This, along with the fact that they are under 17 AND in the first book one of the boys recorded her without consent is too much. Child pornography is still that even when the person recording is a child.

2.75

it did drag quite a bit the first 200 or so pages for me but when it escalated so much at the end that i think it was worth it. i dont like monroe as a love interest mostly because he’s a teacher and even the ridiculous setting isn’t enough for me to fully suspend my disbelief and not get icked out - i feel like this would work better in a fantasy/pnr because they’re not usually set in our world anyway.
