Author's Summary: Finding out the man who asked him out in the bookstore is a history teacher at his high school leads to some unconventional teaching for Adrien.

Review: Okay, this is a story I was hesitant to like at first. The writing style is a bit indecisive, constantly switching between Adrien's inner monologue in the first and third person. That, coupled with some truly cheesy dialog at times (the first chapter is the worst. If you can make it through that you're home free) can (and probably will) make some readers shy away.

But as I continued to read it started to grow on me. Yes, the setting is a little cliche, but the uniqueness of the characters made me look past it. After a while you start seeing the struggle between Adrien and this forbidden romance and I couldn't help but feel for him as he started to struggle with it (though it is a little hard to tell at first).

Despite it flaws there is a story worth reading here, and while it's not the most sophisticated novel I've ever read, it had many shining moments and those looking for something lighthearted will most likely enjoy it.

But seriously. Very cheesy dialog ahead.

It also has a sequel, which can be found in (his? her?) profile.

Happy reading.
