This book seems like it would be pretty straightforward. Teacher, Eve (young, female), molests and sleeps with student, Josh (boy, age 12). Josh grows up, Eve gets released from jail, coming-of-age story ensues. But it isn't quite that simple. There's also Rachel. She was the catalyst of the whole debacle, the court and prison and therapy. If it hadn't been for that fateful night in the closet, the relationship between Josh and Eve might have remained a secret. Since then, Josh has completely avoided Rachel, believing that she despises him. But in actuality, that's the farthest thing from the truth.

I loved this book. 5 stars.
