I love BY's writing and flow. Overall, I enjoyed following the protagonist's journey in discovering herself and her origins. However, the teacher's subplot of being a sexual predator was random and completely unnecessary. No part of the teacher's awful behavior is addressed, and honestly the other characters dismiss any concerns of inappropriateness.
