** spoiler alert **
this book was absolutely mortifying to read. like there is so much to unpack, so:
1. there was constant fatshaming throughout the book- like yes, write about fatshaming, but don’t have it in the book a ridiculous amount and from every character, making it seem like it’s ok. wtf?
2. the book builds up to a relationship between a TEACHER and a FOURTEEN year old student. in no way is this ‘love lessons� it’s illegal and pedophilia.
3. prue has lived under a rock + has not had the same social developments (and just life experiences) that an average teenage girl has had- she even says so herself near the start. for her to develop a crush on a teacher, that’s quite a common feeling that students will get, but because of her upbringing perhaps, it led her to become persistent and obsessive over that crush. however, as a teacher, if a student attempts to kiss you, you would stop the advancement and then inform a higher up and go from there. that did not happen.
4. the adult teacher somehow reciprocated those feelings???? kissed her multiple times?? whilst having a wife and 2 kids??? bullshit
5. he took advantage of a young girl who he knew was naive, and then when he was found out, he blamed everything on the 14 year old and made out it wasn’t reciprocated- resulting in her getting kicked out of school and him having absolutely no consequences?? wtf
6. possibly the most concerning thing about this book is that it was written from, + intended for, the perspective of a young person. reading this as a child, it gives the idea that having a relationship with a teacher is romantic, as well as being achievable. a younger person reading this book would not be able to see it from a wider perspective as someone who is more mature would, and would ( + clearly have by some reviews) see the relationship as sweet + romantic, being not at all illegal or pedophilic in their eyes.
