Well-written but disturbing novel about a fifteen year old girl who is groomed and emotionally manipulated into having a sexual relationship with her forty two year old teacher. The plot follows Vanessa at fifteen and later at thirty two, as it shows the affect it had on every aspect of her life.
This book was emotionally hard to read, but is important in bringing this type of abuse to light and puts you inside the mind of the girl going through it.
