A review by casacostello
Dear Teacher by Jack Sheffield
2.0
I actually started this quite a few years ago and somehow it got abandoned. As part of the Dusty Bookshelf project I’m trying to tackle my TBR pile and this book was the first I ever added back in 2011.
This was a quick book as I expected, I just didn’t love it and feel the heartwarming feel I expected to. I get the impression that Mr Sheffield is a truly nice man - unfortunately the other characters didn’t seem to shine through in this book. I did enjoy the ‘Will they/won’t they’ romance throughout the book though - it was that that made me continue.
I’m wondering if maybe the book has aged or maybe I have and I just want more from the humour. I felt some of the linguistic comedy moments were a little forced and unnatural.
I’m sure it’s me and not the book!
