Going into this book, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a little skeptical--the teacher-student premise reminded me of one of my favorite stories by another famous author. In that book, the author's writing was so flawless I thought there was no way this could measure up. I'll be the first to admit I was wrong--I loved this one just as much!There are plenty of teacher-student forbidden romance stories out there. This author somehow managed to write a story using this overdone premise and put a fresh spin on it. The result is a beautifully-written, heartfelt, touching story that will ruin you for any future teacher-student stories.This story really made me feel. I felt the pain, the grief, heartache, the joy--I experienced this book as if I were the heroine herself. Having read hundreds of romance novels, I can honestly say this is a rare thing for me. To feel the character's emotions as if they were my own is what I always want from a book, but it's so rare to find.This isn't your average high school romance. If you're looking for a light, breezy read, this isn't it. But that's only because it is So. Much. More. There's a love story being told, an absolutely gorgeous one at that, but this is also a story about real life. Real life isn't always happy, but it's always beautiful. And this story is beautiful. Do yourself a favor and find out for yourself. You won't regret it.
