Some books push a reader out of their comfort zone, this one shoved me. My Dark Vanessa is my first five-star book of 2020, and it is so well deserved.
This novel delves into the taboo relationship between a fifteen-year-old student and her forty-two-year- old English teacher. It alternates between Vanessa’s teenage years, when their relationship began, to 2017, when another student has come forward with claims of sexual abuse against the same teacher. This back and forth worked perfectly for Vanessa’s story.
