See allGlorious. Just as good as the first one. Jessica Townsend's imagination and knack (har-har, in-joke) for world-building are unparalleled.

I was going to plough through and finish this, since I'm so far into it, but it's so DULL and depressing. The main character is just so unhappy with her life all the time. The romance between her and the movie star felt very rushed and there was zero chemistry between them, and since they get together really early on, the rest of the book just seems to be about how overwhelming and difficult and unhappy she is in her new life.
Also the writing is...not great.
I don't really know how to rate this book. On the one hand, the writing is average at best, and because it's self-published (I assume?) it's got quite a lot of spelling and grammatical errors. It basically reads like the kind of fanfic I've read hundreds of times on fanfic.net or wattpad.
And yet it was exactly what I wanted. I was LOOKING for student-teacher smut, and it totally delivered. Sure, some of the things that happened were totally ridiculous (they didn't ever seem to be worried about getting caught, despite having sex at school constantly, like every day), but this sort of book isn't there to be realistic. Although I could have done without Luci constantly rolling her eyes. Do people even roll their eyes at each other, REALLY? If they do, they definitely don't do it in every single scene.
So if I'm rating this on its page-turning goodness, it'd be 4 stars. I flew through this.
If I'm rating it on how good a book it actually is, then it's 2 stars.
So I've compromised on 3, but it's a weak 3. I certainly wouldn't read it again, because there's nothing to it except seeing what happens next.
