Maise O’Malley just
turned eighteen, but she’s felt like a grown-up her entire life. The
summer before senior year, she has plans: get into a great film school,
convince her mom to go into rehab, and absolutely do not, under any
circumstances, screw up her own future.
But life has a way of throwing her plans into free-fall.
When
Maise meets Evan at a carnival one night, their chemistry is immediate,
intense, and short-lived. Which is exactly how she likes it: no
strings. But afterward, she can’t get Evan out of her head. He’s taught
her that a hookup can be something more. It can be an unexpected
connection with someone who truly understands her. Someone who sees
beyond her bravado to the scared but strong girl inside.
That someone turns out to be her new film class teacher, Mr. Evan Wilke.
Maise
and Evan resolve to keep their hands off each other, but the attraction
is too much to bear. Together, they’re real and genuine; apart, they’re
just actors playing their parts for everyone else. And their masks are
slipping. People start to notice. Rumors fly. When the truth comes to
light in a shocking way, they may learn they were just playing parts for
each other, too.
Smart, sexy, and provocative, Unteachable is about what happens when a love story goes off-script.
