After graduation, seventeen-year-old Connor can't forget his teacher, Ms. Timms. So when she contacts him and their relationship turns romantic, he's determined to maintain their closeness at all costs. The relatively short text is packed with intense issues, including violence, teenage sexuality, and a family history of alcoholism, that are only briefly addressed, making the plot gripping but choppy.
