I had to read the summary to remember this book and yup, I didn't liked it.
The age difference is a bonus, but both characters act way over the top and I felt let down the second part of the book.
Which is so bad, because I read another one from the same writer last week which was way much better and so I'm going through some of her books and it's pretty enjoyable.

This book broke my heart and then pieced it back together. There were moments when I just wanted to shake some sense into Diane. This is one of the best books I've read!

I loved the plot and the characters, but I just wish there was more closure after the big angsty moment.

The story started too slow. As a result, it took a while before i got interested in the story. sometimes there was too little focus on the main characters. I got distracted by all sub-characters and sub-plots. There were a few good moments and a few good dialogues, but for me this was not enough to make it a great book. I will not read it again. Maybe my expectations were too high. I love a good May/December Romance, especially if it's also a student/teacher love story. Unfortunately this was not a favorite to add to the genre.

Couldn't get beyond the first ten pages without wincing and deleting from my Kindle.
