The Review 📚 For Your Own Good
✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
- I really like Samantha Downing’s other works so I had to pick up this one. Plus I like dark academia type books.
💜 What I liked:
- The writing was just solid with many things I neve saw coming. There are one or two characters you start off the book disliking that you end up liking more as you go through.
😱 What I didn’t like:
- This book was not as shocking as I expected. I am not saying it wasn’t twisty, because it was. But just not as jaw dropping as previous books. Just to prepare you.
🚦 My face at the end: 🧐
💭 5 Reasons to Read:
- 1. Dark Academia
- 2. Complexly motivated characters
- 3. Sneaky manipulation
- 4. Multiple POV
- 5. Unbelievable situations
🕧 Mini-Summary:
- Crutcher is a teacher at a private school who believes that his students should be taught to respect education and teachers. He has his own unique method of schooling them.
All thoughts and opinions are my own.
📘 Summary 📚 For Your Own Good
Teddy Crutcher has won Teacher of the Year at the esteemed Belmont Academy, home to the best and brightest.
He says his wife couldn’t be more proud—though no one has seen her in a while.
Teddy really can’t be bothered with the death of a school parent that’s looking more and more like murder or the student digging a little too deep into Teddy’s personal life. His main focus is on pushing these kids to their full academic potential.
All he wants is for his colleagues—and the endlessly meddlesome parents—to stay out of his way.
It’s really too bad that sometimes excellence can come at such a high cost.
USA Today bestselling author Samantha Downing is back with her latest sneaky thriller set at a prestigious private school—complete with interfering parents, overeager students, and one teacher who just wants to teach them all a lesson
