Description:
|
Vanessa Wye is convinced that her relationship with Jacob Stane was based on mutual love, even if she was only 15 when it started and Jacob was her 42-year-old English teacher.
Now, years down the track as the #MeToo movement gains momentum and Jacob is accused of sexual abuse by other former students, Vanessa is forced to revisit her experiences and make sense of what really happened.
A riveting page-turner... dark... disturbing... provocative.

"It is raw and seems so real - you can feel her pain."
"An excellently told tale of teenage sexuality."
"It keeps the reader spellbound for nearly 400 pages."
"This book could upset those who have experienced sexual abuse."
"A timely narrative with the Me Too movement."
"Thought-provoking in that it forces the reader to consider how the grooming process works."
"This book had quite an impact on me. I have rethought my attitude to the MeToo movement."
"Some will struggle with the sexual content."
