I thought this book was good but I had a hard time getting into it. You’d think with the subject being a female teacher having sex with her middle school students I’d be more interested, but it took me multiple sessions to read this short book. And again, it wasn’t because I was so disturbed I needed a break, I just wasn’t super into it.

I think the book spent way too long talking about the FL’s obsessive masterbation. I understand that she’s a pervert, let’s move the plot along.

It was interesting to see the amount of pretty privilege that MC got, and how her being pretty is what really allowed her to groom the boys and get off easy with the law.

This was definitely a unique read and even though it didn’t blow me away I’d still recommend it if you like fucked up books.
