Hi, welcome to my review! Well, okay welcome to my rant actually. But you’ve been warned.
I liked the premise of this book and the whole sexy power play concept, but not liking any of the characters kind of ruined everything.
Main complaint 1: Ohhhhh my lord Keiko is the most annoying caricature of a nerd I’ve ever read. Has MQ ever met one? I think the character is supposed to be neurodivergent but I wasn’t clear on that. If she is, then that also rubbed me the wrong way because it felt like a stereotype. At least she’s a secondary character so it isn’t a constant thing, but it got to the point where I had to skim past her “I’m a human Wikipedia who rambles” dialogue, because it was so annoying and took me out of the story.
Main complaint 2: Greer *should* have been fired. (I’m not saying if it happens or not, just that people repeatedly defend her efforts and intentions and they shouldn’t be). I was hoping that would happen, even though she’s the protagonist. She didn’t even seem to like literature, we are just told the lit she does like falls under the genre of romance novels. I also can’t believe she s*t talks classic literature in her interview, especially in a supposedly prestigious school when this is her first job out of student teaching. She just felt like a coach to me who cares about volleyball with no passion for English lit, but even that didn’t feel super authentic.
The pranks were so unprofessional (and not even funny), especially directed at the head of her department. And I’m not a teacher, but um…instructing the students to read through Cliff notes and playing movies? Her methods seem like trash.
Random aside: Some of the comments Coraline (also, lol at that name) makes to her brother about sex were over the line and gross. As someone who has a brother, it made me so deeply uncomfortable and skeeved out.
I liked A Not So Meet Cute a lot, so I’m hoping this is just an outlier and I’ll like the next one better.
