I'm really conflicted about this book. On the one hand, I typically love the forbidden romance of the Teacher/Student relationship (as long as it is consensual and the younger half isn't being manipulated into thinking it's consensual, if that makes sense), but on the other hand this book just didn't sit right with me. There were a lot of things that troubled me, most importantly, the way that Sidney's family treats her. The second thing that bothered me was the swing dancing. I can't explain why, but it just did. I mean, I understand why it was put there, but I can't help but wonder what made H.M. Ward choose swing dancing of all things.

I also felt that the writing was so-so. There was nothing horrendous about it, but there was nothing spectacular about it either. I can't say with a clear conscience that I'd recommend this book, but it wasn't so horrible that I would feel the need to forcibly stop one of my friends from reading it.

En sevdiğim öğretmenim ölmüştü. Dün akşam neredeyse bir erkekle yatıyordum ama o, beni kovdu. Ah ve de söylemeden geçemeyeceğim o benim yeni patronum. Hayatım daha ne kadar karmakarışık bir hal alabilir ki?!
Sidney Colleli bir üniversite öğrencisi ve aynı zamanda da üniversitede asistan. Kendince bir güzelliği olan kızımız, bu güzelliğini diğer arkadaşları gibi erkekleri avlamak için kullanmıyor tam tersine onlardan kaçıyordur. Arkadaşı Millie’nin zorla ayarlamaya çalıştığı erkeklerle sırf arkadaşının kalbi kırılmasın diye bir kez yemeğe gidiyor ama bundan daha fazlasının olmasını istemiyordur. Aralarında ki ilişkiyi yenilen yemek ile noktalayıp, arkasına bakmadan yurt odasına kaçıyordur.

Yine bir gün Mille’nın ayarladığı bir erkek ile yemek çıkacak olan kızımız; giyinmiş, süslenmiş ve buluşacakları yere erkenden gitmiştir. Erkenden gittiği için arkadaşı Millie’nin gelmediğini sonradan fark etmiş ve kulaklarını çınlatmaya başlamıştır. Arkadaşına eşi benzeri olmayan güzel laflar dile getirirken tam karşısına gök rengi gözleri ile etrafı süzen yakışıklı hatta yakışıklılıktan da öte çok seksi bir kişinin masasında tek başına oturduğunu görür. Onun tek başına oturması Sidney’in aklında bazı ışıkların parlamasına neden olur ve bu ışıklar ona “İşte seninle buluşacak o!” gibi sinyaller göndererek Sidney’in o yakışıklıya bakarak ağzının sulanmasına neden olur. Tabii bu arada arkadaşına karşı nadide sözcükleri kesip daha da hoş şeyler söylemeye başar. Sonuçta bu sefer Millie turnayı gözünden vurmuştur.

It looked so interesting in the beginning and yet by the last page, I couldn't help feeling so utterly perturbed by whole read. It just wasn't worth it... :/

I really liked this book! I loved the witty banter between Sidney and Peter. I could totally see the building emotions between the two leading up to them falling in love. I think they were both "damaged" and they helped to begin heal one another. I can't wait for the next book to come out!

Boring book, and it didn't even have an ending!

I literally downloaded this app and made an account just so I could say that this is one of the worst books I’ve ever read, and I have read a LOT of books. It’s like it was written by a middle schooler. Plot was like 2/10. Spice was 0/10. Romance was 1/10. I kept reading hoping it would get better and it just never did. The writing is choppy and repetitive… SUPER repetitive. Four hours of my life down the drain

This book was not as good as I thought it would be. I enjoyed the main characters' relationship in the "friendship stage" and the swing dancing.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this one, but I really enjoyed it. It's has two wonderfully "damaged" characters that give each other the chance to learn how to live again. A cliffhanger-ish ending, but it's definitely worth a read.

Full review to come.
