Okay, I read this one only because I saw it included on a list of most disturbing novels on YouTube. So of course, I had to read it.

This was definitely disturbing! It is told from the point of view of a middle school teacher named Celeste Price in Tampa, Florida who is sexually attracted to teenage boys. On the surface, Celeste seems to be a harmless, although very attractive, young woman who is married to a police officer. Her husband has money from his family so Celeste is able to live the high life and drives a Corvette. But Celeste is damaged and can only feel attracted to young boys. So she decides to work as a middle school teacher to be near to her desires. She thinks constantly of sex with 14-year-old males and targets a specific boy named Jack who is willing to give in to her. Celeste performs every sex act imaginable with Jack and even sleeps with Jack's father to make sure she isn't caught. But can she avoid the inevitable?

Well, this was probably one of the most graphic novels I have ever read. It's full of sexual descriptions including the imaginings of Celeste's mind. Although, it did lean towards the humorous at some times, I felt it was way over the top. And yes it was disturbing! By the end, I was very glad to be out of Celeste's mind.
