Ah - I just loved it! I started this book wondering what trouble Sheilagh would get herself into. All that we knew about her from the previous books was that she was a bit of a wild child.That's not at all who she really is.She's brilliant, lonely, scared, and depressed. She has no idea what she wants out of life, no idea how to feel again.After falling in love with her brothers friend at 18 and then finding out he was in a relationship WITH her brother, love was no longer an option for her.She didn't want to be brillant, she didn't want to have a large IQ, she didn't even want to know as the beautiful McCullough...all she wanted was to be normal.When her philosophy teacher, Alec Devereux challenges her, truly challenges her, she drops his class but can't seem to fight her desire to be near him.I love student/teacher romances, yes, they can be taboo but this one wasn't. Yes, they met while he was her professor but they did not have any relationship at that time.Alec goes on to teach Sheilagh so much more than Plato and Socrates. Alec teaches her what it is to feel, what it is to love, and he also teaches her that she's so much more than that wild child she pretended to be.I'm so in love with these characters. There is no other way to describe it. Book 5 comes out in May and I just can't wait.We'll finally get Luke's story and I have a feeling it will be on hell of a read!Faking it gets 5 stars from me!
