I recently finished reading the novel, A Season of Eden by J.M. Warwick, and really enjoyed it.Summary: Eden is an 18 year old high school senior. She's lived her life as one of the popular ones, and always seems to get what she wants. On the inside, though, life isn't all that perfect: her mom died, her dad doesn't notice her anymore, and her step-mom is wicked. When she meets her new choir teacher, 22 year old Mr. Christian, she seems to think he could be the one to make her life better. She immediately feels attracted to him, and starts pursuing him. She comes in early and stays after class to help with the sheet music and blatantly flirts. At first, he is resistant to her charms, but eventually, she convinces him to meet her out at Starbucks, though they both know it's wrong. Some semblance of a relationship ensues, but will it be what either expected? Can it go any further?
My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. I thought the characters were well drawn out, and despite Eden's poor actions, I really began to feel for her and sympathize with her. I've always enjoyed reading about forbidden relationships and romances, and this book met my expectations. I think the author wrote an excellent story about a very controversial and touchy subject. The book held my interest and kept me intrigued the whole way through.
My Rating: 4/5
sounds like a good book to read ;)
