There was something deeply unsatisfying about this book. I was really enjoying reading about this character and her senior year at college so much that I almost forgot it was about an affair. And then the affair happens and I just lost interest. I found myself rushing to get back to the parts where she talks about herself and her friends instead of whatever she had going on with her professor. 

And then the end comes and I was left feeling so “… okay and then what?” I guess I really did just want this to be about her and her college experience without that musty old man around because I really did like the authors writing style.
