I didn't like Unteachable. 
 Beautiful writing... but the love story is more of sex than of atually knowing each other. And an open ending would've been nicer. 
 I felt icky and uncomfortable. Ha! It's surprising that I found Unteachable's theme more awkward and eyebrow-raising than Forbidden's. :) 
 I like how Leah Raeder writes. I do, I really do. But I felt disconnected with Maise and her troubled life. And I was incredulous when she constantly claims that she's more matured than her mother. Well, is she? Not! She doesn't want to face the responsibility of secretly traipsing around school with his teacher Evan. She carelessly throws her life out the window when she doesn't care if she gets caught, making out (petting heavily, and almost having sex) with Evan inside his classroom. It's not the teacher-student relationship that bothered me, no. It's the reckless idea that you can do all those things without consequences, because Maise gets away with it. And it excites her every time. Tell me: is that love? 
 The unhealthy obsession of Evan on Maise is pretty much glorified, because he's young, and gorgeous, and hot. And did I mention he says the sweetest things? Even I will let him get into my pants, hearing what Maise hears every time he whispers those syrupy words. 
 I guess there's a thin line for me between liking them as a pair, and being utterly grossed out by their lewdness. At some point, I thought their scenes are sexy, but I remember, they don't even know each other that well! Should Maise really trust this guy, a shady past like his? 
 Unteachable missed its mark on me. And yeah, I bought this on Kindle in a whim. Seems like I have a habit of buying those books that are not worth it. Look how it went with The Secret of Ella and Micha. 
 Read this if only for the attractive writing. The ending does not even sounds realistic. Ack.
