I found this book disturbing. The protagonist rescues herself from a forced polygamous marriage to an older man, then has an affair with her teacher. I'm guessing Lackey doesn't understand that even when a student appears to be coming on to a teacher, that the teacher must still act responsibly and not take advantage of the student. The fact that the teacher in this book goes along with it all makes it seem as if Lackey is OK with what is really an abusive or at best manipulative and exploitative situation.
