* I received an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review*You can say that I'm a little obsessed with teacher/student romance. I love that little thrill of having to hide the relationship and having to put everything on the line to be with the person they love. Always You was a slow-building, sweet romance about two very alike individuals falling in loveAfter the year she's had, the last place Wrenn wants to be is at the all-girls boarding school surrounded by spoiled teenage girls. She's acts very mature and has a very clear plan of what she wants for her future. She doesn't act like the other girls do when she meets Dalton, even though she is attracted to him but thinks that there's no way he would feel the same for her AND he's also her teacher.Dalton is fresh out of college and knows that it was not the best idea to teach at an all-girls school full of hormonal high school girls. I really liked him; he was sweet and caring and he cant hide the feelings that have started to grow for Wrenn. He has a life-changing decision to make that will either make or break any future he had hope to have with Wrenn.I didn't feel that forbidden factor in this story, which is what I love about student/teacher romances. The age difference was not very big at all and even the time they had to wait to make their relationship public was not very long either. I did love the connection and interactions between Wrenn and Dalton. I loved that they started out as friends and then their relationship developed into something more. I really liked that the story was told from Wrenn's and Dalton's point of view.  I loved the ending since it took me by surprise and felt realistic. There was no unnecessary angst that took away from the story, which I liked, but I stilll wanted some big drama-filled reveal.Overall, this I liked this book. It was cute and sweet, and the ending surprised me. The student/teacher aspect was not as taboo, but I enjoyed it regardless.
