Description

theSkimm Reading Pick!

Blurring the lines of blame and moral ambiguity, Indecent by Corinne Sullivan is a smart, sexy debut.


Shy, introverted Imogene Abney has always been fascinated by the elite world of prep schools, having secretly longed to attend one since she was a girl in Buffalo, New York. So, shortly after her college graduation, when she’s offered a teaching position at the Vandenberg School for Boys, an all-boys prep school in Westchester, New York, she immediately accepts, despite having little teaching experience—and very little experience with boys.

When Imogene meets handsome, popular Adam Kipling a few weeks into her tenure there, a student who exudes charm and status and ease, she’s immediately drawn to him. Who is this boy who flirts with her without fear of being caught? Who is this boy who seems immune to consequences and worry; a boy for whom the world will always provide?

As an obsessive, illicit affair begins between them, Imogene is so lost in the haze of first love that she’s unable to recognize the danger she’s in. The danger of losing her job. The danger of losing herself in the wrong person. The danger of being caught doing something possibly illegal and so indecent.

Exploring issues of class, sex, and gender, this smart, sexy debut by Corrine Sullivan shatters the black-and-white nature of victimhood, taking a close look at blame and moral ambiguity.

Wow.....What a book! There wasn't a point in the book where I didn't want to reach through the pages to slap Imogene upside the head....and giver her a hug. Her bad decisions while working at an all-boys boarding school are absolutely painful, but the book is so well-written that you truly understand her character and feel that you are right there with her throughout all of the highs and lows. A must read.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

At first glance, you think Imogene will be just fine. Then quickly you see, she is in way over her head. It seemed a bit innocent at first, and you know that it really isn't. Not at all. It didn't have a pretty bow on this book, and truthfully, that's ok.
Great book!
