BY LEAH RAEDER
An edgy, sexy USA TODAY bestseller about falling for the one person you can’t have.
Maise O’Malley just turned eighteen, but she’s felt like a grown-up her entire life. The summer before senior year, she has plans: get into a great film school, convince her mom to go into rehab, and absolutely do not, under any circumstances, screw up her own future.
But life has a way of throwing her plans into free-fall.
When Maise meets Evan at a carnival one night, their chemistry is immediate, intense, and short-lived. Which is exactly how she likes it: no strings. But afterward, she can’t get Evan out of her head. He’s taught her that a hookup can be something more. It can be an unexpected connection with someone who truly understands her. Someone who sees beyond her bravado to the scared but strong girl inside.
That someone turns out to be her new film class teacher, Mr. Evan Wilke.
Maise and Evan resolve to keep their hands off each other, but the attraction is too much to bear. Together, they’re real and genuine; apart, they’re just actors playing their parts for everyone else. And their masks are slipping. People start to notice. Rumors fly. When the truth comes to light in a shocking way, they may learn they were just playing parts for each other, too.
Smart, sexy, and provocative, Unteachable is about what happens when a love story goes off-script.
Wow, I have really been missing out by not reading this sooner. It was more than a book, it was an experience. Leah has a magical way with words and her writing style is almost lyrical in a sense. It truly is beautiful. This is a forbidden romance in its finest. While the relationship between Maise and Evan was not illegal (everyone is of age) the relationship is still taboo. AND I loved every minute of it!! Maise was an amazingly developed strong character that has quickly become a favorite of mine. At only 18 she is wise beyond her years with an inner strength that is beautiful. And then there is Evan whose layers are so complex that peeling them away makes for an very interesting story. To sum things up, you need to read this NOW!!
