Consent by Nancy Ohlin

In this book we meet Beatrice and see how her life changes when she gets a new music history teacher who she finds attractive. After he discovers her talents they become an electric pair as they share their love and passion of music and piano together and Dane encourages her to achieve her potential as a pianist at college.

However, after they get carried away in their passion, the couple find themselves discovered by and unexpected source...

This couple was electric and both in my eyes happy with their relationship despite the ages and legalities i do feel it was a nice romance and not a pressured one but alas the law wins over for them. I truly loved the book and the forbidden romance within!

Goodbye Perfect by Sara Barnard

When perfect student Bonnie goes missing no one least of all her best friend Eden, expects her to have fun off with Mr Cohn, her music teacher! She called him 'Jack', so Eden assumed he was their age despite her acting so secretive over it.

Growing up in care, Eden's life has been turbulent but with steady friend Bonnie vanishing she experiences anger, jealousy and despair over wanting her back, over her friends selfishness at how she's treating her caring family, something she never naturally had.

However, through all this, Carolyn her adoptive mum and her biological daughter Valerie, Get a bit closer to the family Eden has craved after for so long. As well as Connor her steady boyfriend helping in any way he can being supportive and devoted to helping her.

The only twist is all along since Bonnie ran off, Eden has been getting texts from her telling her about where they are and going to. But Eden can't cope and eventually the weight of knowledge gets too much...

Set over a dramatic week when taking GCSES plus a flash forward to August results day, we see how grooming works from the point of an outsider and not one of the couple involved.
It was a dramatic read but the ending didn't satisfy me completely as we don't find out what specifically he got charged with, how Bonnie is doing and how she coped in the time following the couple's split.

Overall, it was alike Anne Cassidy's books and it did keep me entranced to read on and on.
