I received an arc in exchange for an honest review.Let me say that student-teacher romances are right up my alley. I LOVE them.Unfortunately this book didn't quite cut it for me.After reading other reviews of amazing chemistry, laugh out loud funny, tears, etc etc.. I was foaming at the mouth excited... but then was sorely disappointed. I didn't get any of that.I found this story to be pretty boring. It took me several days to read it because I kept putting it down. It didn't keep my interest.What did I like about it?? Um... I thought a couple moments with Brandon were a little funny. The Nick Cage cutout and all.. but far cry from laughing out loud.What I didn't like?? A lot.To narrow it down, I didn't feel the forbiddenness from a usual student-techer romance. There wasn't much angst or passion. It was very lackadaisical and just boring.The "tease"?? WTF was that about? I don't get it. Who does that? It was just weird.Also, the way Ben spoke made him seem much too old. He acted a bit too pompous, too philosophical and intellectual. Turns out he was 26? It didn't make any sense.There were also some grammatical errors, but that I can get over. :)I'm surprised I actually finished it.
