Dear Diary (Prickly Pear Springs #1) by Cassie Mint – She decided to hand deliver a love letter to her senior English teacher thinking that could go any way but poorly. Three years later while his kids are working on research papers in the library, he starts noticing his former student and current librarian is all grown up. It could have easily gone haywire, but it skirted the line just enough for me to enjoy it! Happy Reading!

Wish this was a little bit longer so we could have more ✨angst✨, but this was a fun, steamy short read.
I was a little skeptical of the whole he-was-my-teacher-crush thing but I feel like it’s made extremely obvious that the teacher didn’t feel any type of attraction or “pull” towards the student while she was a minor so it’s… better?

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐.75/5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️/5
Chemistry: 🧪🧪
Plot: 3/5
I've never been much for the student teacher trope. And I have to say that based on this book I'm still not. I have always enjoyed Cassie's books but this one was one that I struggled to eat through. I know I know, it's 66 pages. But I feel as if I had to slog through it just to get to a disappointing ending.
Once they finally get to the good part there isn't really much happening. I feel like if I had to wait all that time for something to happen it could have been better.
I really loved that she was working at the library because *dream realized* but other than that there really isn't enough to keep you wanting to read. Well at least not for me. I think of there would have been better interactions with Conrad and a third person there would have been a bit of an ease. Instead of it just being super awkward between the two until it wasn't. Which was super awkward for me as a reader.
