Imogene starts her teaching apprenticeship at an
elite boy’s boarding school with many ideas about what she wants the experience
to be like but when she starts an illicit relationship with a senior student,
her whole life begins a downward spiral.
Imogene is quite possibly one of the most fascinating and fleshed-out
characters that I have ever read. Being
inside her head and witnessing her insecurities, anxiety and self-doubt feels
realistic and I found parts (only parts) of myself and other women in her
thoughts processes. My one (pretty big)
complaint is in how this book is marketed.
I actually read through some other reader reviews before finishing it,
which is something I rarely do, to see if others noticed this glaring
discrepancy and it was definitely mentioned.
This book, at least in galley form, has a pink cover with big red lips
and is marketed as sexy. Instead this is a psychological novel about a
troubled, insecure and probably mentally ill young woman who embarks on a
disturbing and obsessive relationship.
This is a really good novel but if you are looking for a light read,
this is not it. I received an advanced
copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest
review.
