 There were many aspects of this novel that I enjoyed, for example, the writing and how imperfect and flawed the protagonist was. On the other hand, The romance and the love interest had my conscious at edge. For a variety of reasons I saw problematic traits in the relationship, which could most probably deem it unhealthy. There was something cliche and unique about it at the same time. Unlike many New Adult novels, this one showed a jaded side of each character. 
 No one is completely faultless. 
 It contains a realness that I've noticed is sometimes lacked in this genre. 
 The relationship was complicated, as most relationships are. There wasn't an emotional attachment for me with the characters, which is understandable, because I didn't believe the relationship between the two main characters to be healthy. 
 With all that being said, I was satisfied with how realistic and un-sugarcoated this story was. The ending was also a big reason why I gave this book three stars, rather than anything less. 
 Unteachable is a novel about growing and finding yourself. It's also about forbidden love and the rush of living your life. 
 Maise O'Malley's life isn't easy, with a drug dealing mother and a non-existent father. 
 Her life is complicated, awaiting to be put together. 
 Like most romances things change when she meets a man who doesn't know anything about her, but manages to make her feel alive. After spending an evening with him, she runs, something very common to her. 
 One thing she never expected was to miss him. 
 Missing doesn't last for long, once she walks into her class and see's "The Guy" as her teacher. In a tale of growing up, finding yourself, and forbidden love, Maise has to try and stay afloat. Secrets are inevitable and so is...heartbreak? Can they make it work? Most importantly can she find herself? 
 Okay, so I have a few moral issues with this. First of all the student teacher relationship thing is very cliche, I always make a point to poke fun of it whenever it comes up in teen shows. For many, this scenario is a fantasy, while for me I see it as predatory and deceiving? 
 Yes, it was not Evans fault he didn't know she was still in high school, but once he was her teacher, the relationship should have had some boundaries. People love "forbidden love", so in the contemporary/romance section there's three types of forbidden love: illegal, money/social boundaries, or against the guardians will. 
 This one I'm sure can not be completely legal. 
 Second, the secrets being held were a problem. Forgiveness came too easily for me. 
 Evan made it seem like it was her fault that she needed time away. It was a lot to process and I didn't like that he felt as if she should jump back into his arms. 
 Third, There was a revelation, in which he blamed someone for coming onto him. It bothered me because it isn't a one sided thing. You can still reject someone. 
 One thing I liked about this the novel was that it had realism, and even with my complaints, I did enjoy it. A big plus was the writing, the author used her words to make everything detailed and poetic. 
 I hoped for an ending that would call how problematic student-teacher relationships are, but I was happy that it's concluded the way it started. That's why I found it beautiful. 
 Two new beginnings. Not a happily ever after, but a start to something new. 
 I'd recommend this to anyone who likes NA and good writing. Though, you should also be able to withstand some aspects of the high school drama included.
