A really good take on a somewhat taboo subject. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

This wasn't the right book for me, but many readers seem to love it. Good luck with the rest of the trilogy.

I don't know what to feel after reading this book. While I am OK with teacher-student relationship, something that most people disagree or frown upon, I am NOT OK with husbands or wives cheating on their spouses. I am sorry but I wasn't just feeling it even if the other party's feelings are so strong and intense. Just No.

When I got Broken English via Netgalley, I just looked at the synopsis and thought, "hmm a teacher-student love affair, now this I gotta read." Because, who wouldn't like forbidden love stories, right? But as I perused the book and got to know the characters, Dante specifically, I cringe so much I thought my face would remain twisted forever. I get it, Dante was gorgeous, he may only be a boy (15 years old to be exact) but have had experienced so many hardships in life. Drugs, alcohol, sexual abuse, incest, mental illness, just to name a few. I knew where his hatred and angst were coming from. I understood him yes.

But Clara Hatton, the English teacher he'd come to admire and fantasize, was another story. She. Was. Married. She was his teacher, I had no problem with that, but she was effing married to a very understanding guy.

The ending was kind of expected, so I wasn't that much surprised to say the least. Promising, yes, but will I read Broken Lives part 2? Well, let's just wait and see..
