And intensifying abuse from aggressive helicopter mother, Naomi Seabrook, only exacerbates the pressure.

With her entire life teetering on chaos, Lizanne is anxious to prove that she is a more dedicated teacher than anyone dared imagine, including herself.

MY THOUGHTS -
Wow! This is one you won't want to miss! This story has just the right amount of creepiness to make it fun and interesting. This book has a kind of "Stepford Wives" feel - yeah! its creepy like that.
A great, very original story-line mixed with excellent character development . This one would definitely make a good movie.
Lizanne was soooo weird! But I loved her! She is probably one of the strangest and snarkiest characters I have ever read about. Even with all her quirks she still managed to get into my heart. Its like my brain was saying - Noooo, she is too weird, but my heart was saying - awww come on, you know you love her!
Then... the story goes totally off the wall with the whole prison romance! Like where did that come from? The whole time I am wondering "Where is this going, what does this have to do with the story?" Then - an "ah-ha" moment. I think I actually heard music in the back ground LOL. It all came together in the end. Great ending.
This book is definitely a roller coaster ride all the way! If you love creepy, snarky, quirky, and very suspenseful stories - you will love this book!
I do hope Jennifer Soosar continues to write because I certainly want to read more!
Thank you Jennifer for sending me your book for my honest review!
