Isabel Cruz was fifteen years old when she met Tom Stevens. She was 15 when they started dating, and 16 when she lost her virginity to him. By the time she turned 18 and went to college, everything had fallen apart. This hadn’t been an ordinary love, though. Not a love between two dear friends, or even high school sweethearts. This had been the most taboo sort of love there was: a relationship between a student and her teacher. Isabel started her high school career as a normal student, but set her sights on Tom Stevens as soon as she met him, and pursued him with an intense – and sometimes reckless – fascination. When he finally approached her after swim practice and told her that he shared her feelings, it was the start of a forbidden and dangerous relationship.

I have heard of teachers falling for students or students falling for teachers. I would like to read a story about what might happen in such a circumstance. I am also interested in Multicultural authors. I haven't read about an author from Argentina. Would like to meet this author through her book. I love the title.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting Eva today.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an interesting story to read. I appreciate you hosting. Thanks! saltsnmore at yahoo dot com

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great read.

ReplyDeleteThis really does look like an interesting book and I'm adding it to my ever growing TBR list. I haven't seen this story time in a while and other than movies I've never actually read one so this taboo will be interesting to read about.
ReplyDeleteWhat and exciting giveaway. I am intrigued by the book "Sweetest Taboo," particularly since Kathy is hosting this tour highlighting Eva. I might have been afraid to try it on my own. Now I am very curious.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI hope this is not too late to enter the giveaway. I wanted to say that this does look like a good read. A most taboo relationship indeed.

Great contest! Hope I win!
ReplyDeleteI just came from a 50 yr reunion where a friend admitted she had a huge crush on a teacher (who was also there!) and she told him. He wanted to know why she hadn't told him then. Wonder what would have happened.... Would love to read your book!

I'm really interested in reading this. The teacher/student relationship is something they do A LOT in tv shows, but there it's for drama and it's not often handled well. I like that this is an honest look at this situation and most importantly the consequences.
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like a great book! I'm looking forward to it
