Such a delightful, fresh breeze of a book. Wardell crafts a hilarious romance that explores vulnerability and how one can learn to trust others and lean on them. Do not let the cute cover fool you; Teacher of the Year unpacks a lot of heavy topics including but not limited to alcoholism and childhood trauma. Nonetheless, it was at times too sweet and smooth around the edges for my taste. But hey, perhaps someone less jaded may find their next favourite book in here.
