It was hard for me to understand why Mary Kay Letourneau did what she did, even after reading this book. The book is well done and tells the reader what happened.

Mary Kay Letourneau and Villi are still in the news. This story is odd because you almost feel sorry for the couple, but then realize if the tables were turned..if it had been a man who seduced a girl, it would seem horrific. This was a great depiction of Mary Kay...a great insight into her.

Not only is this the story of Mary Kay and Vili, it is also the story of those around them and their families.

Mary Kay and Vili got married after she got out of prison in 2004.

A moderately sympathetic portrayal of a sixth-grade teacher who had sex with one of her students. Author's main axe to grind concerned those who publicized and attempted to profit from the situation. Hmmm, Mr. Olsen, is some self-reflection in order?
