This was my first encounter with the author Victoria Lum, but I was definitely impressed and will be reading more by her!

What I loved about the book:
1. I LOVE PROFESSOR x STUDENT / AGE GAP BOOKS!!!! They are definitely one of my favorites and I ate this up!

2. FURTHERMORE, I loved that he was her ETHICS teacher and they were working on a project involving a real life professor x student relationship! The whole class they were trying to argue that the world isn’t black and white, while he was trying to fight his feelings for her and refused to apply the same thought process to their budding relationship. It was phenomenal!

3. I really enjoyed both of our MCs.

Millie was my girl! After her mom died, even though she was the youngest sibling, she ended up taking care of everyone and pretending everything was fine. She took care of her dad instead of the other way around and she acted she wasn’t impacted by her brother moving on with his life away from them. I loved this grit established for her character up front, which really made her not feel young. This on top of her career aspirations being to help those her younger self and her character development where she would no longer hide her feelings (aka act everything was ok when it definitely wasn’t), made her such a brilliant FMC.

Ryland had so many faces it was insane! From his smiling public persona to the hardass teacher to giving in to being vulnerable with Millie, he was such a rich character that I felt so bad for at so many times. He was so stuck in his head that I was happy when he relinquished the leash on himself and went after her. I was happy to see him get his happy ending.

4. Millie acted so much more mature than her young age, after everything she had been through, which really helped with not feeling there was a power imbalance. Especially with how many times she stood up for herself and how often she kept him away in order to make sure she was being treated fairly, it was so perfectly done! Also, can’t stress enough how much I loved that she wasn’t a virgin!

5. I loved the family and friend groups, as well as how everyone was connected! The map the author provided was super helpful!

At this point in the story, Grace / Steven and Emily / Adrian have already had their books, but there are still plenty more possible and I can’t wait for them!

Here were/are my predictions:

• Maxwell and Belle – marriage of convenience
• Taylor and Charles – enemies to lovers
• Lana and Elias – friend’s little sister
• Rex and ??? – I’m not sure but he’s a playboy so he’s FOR SURE going to fall hella hard
• Ethan and ??? – Also not sure, but I cannot wait for him to find his kink
