I wish I had read the reviews first, especially the one star one.  This book was boring.  It did seem like it was written by a young teen.  At first I thought maybe because it is set in London and they just do things differently there.  Now, I am not so sure.There was so much at the school that didn't make sense but maybe schools in London are different.  It also seemed to just jerk around.  There is a crisis in the classroom, etc. and the principal calls her to his office.  She gets there and he informs her he had decided to move the teachers around from room to room to get more experience.  REALLY, an evaluation in the middle of the crisis, isn't the timing for this a bit off?I had to admit I did quit reading.  I thought it was a cute romantic story.  The whole first part I read was about the bad seed in the classroom and she is fighting an attraction to the kid's dad.  Who, by the way, is still married.  The teacher seems awfully young, no experience with dealing with unruly kids, etc.  OH, and she calls dad at work, gets him out of an important meeting, to tell him about some misdeed the kid has done.  Doesn't this usually wait until the end of the day when parent's are picking kids up?  What did she expect him to do at work about the problem?  Solve it herself, a novel concept.I didn't care for this one at all.  I was reading and realized how bored I was and decided to quit.  Then I read the most helpful negative review and I thought, thank goodness, someone else saw this the same as I did.  I really have to wonder how anyone could give this 5 stars. I wonder, what did they see that I didn't?  Oh well.  Read and decide for yourself.  For me, I'm sorry I wasted my time.
