McKendrick.Īt first their love is complicated, Addison has set her mind on having him but he knows he can’t act on his attraction towards her because she is his student. Addy has an obsession with counting and always being on time since his brother’s accident and can’t help but notice all the tick tock’s from the clocks everywhere she goes, the only one who can make that madness stop is Mr. Addy’s brother died a couple of years ago and she has always blamed herself for it, and what is worst her dad (an alcoholic abusive full of pain) and her mother (this socialité that only cares about how the world sees her and not about Addison) also blame her for it, so none of them pay attention to her or care to ask if she is alright. “Yes, but we aren’t anywhere else, Addison. It is what it is.”Īlthough we first see Addison as this strong sassy character who is afraid of nobody and has settled her mind in getting the teacher, we soon realize that she is much more than that, she is broken, damaged, and Grayson is the only one who can fix her. Anywhere else and it wouldn’t even matter.” YES LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS A TEACHER/STUDENT ROMANCE (but not your typical one at all). And well, he inmediatly feels attracted to Addison, even though she is his student. He likes the freedom of being able to travel and enjoy the world, but his dad is really sick and he comes back to take care of him. He didn’t want to get back from it because he doesn’t like living in the town or teaching. McKendrick, he is a 32 year old new teacher at Addison’s high school, he just got back from a trip through Europe. We meet Addison Lancaster when she is in a therapy session with Doc, but she doesn’t talk much in it so we can’t imagine what actually happened to have him asking those questions, then with flashbacks we get on a rollercoaster through the past and the present that helps us find out the story behind Addy’s inclusion in the Pshychriatic Facility.

Okay, so the summary obviously doesn’t say much about the plot, and that’s good because one of the best things about the book is trying to guess what happened to the main character to put her where she is now.

Hiiiii everyone! *waves* I’m finally back, this review-hiatus gave me strenght to be fully focused on the first review I’ve done since before Christmas. The clock keeps ticking, the world is unconvinced, and now… I thought we could convince the world that this wasn’t a crime.

They told me they wouldn’t judge me-they lied. They want me to trust them and confess my sins.
