Explanation As Books Pages for You (Pages for You #1)
In a steam-filled diner in a college town, Flannery Jansen catches sight of something more beautiful than she's ever seen: a graduate student, reading. The seventeen-year-old, new to everything around her—college, the East Coast, bodies of literature, and the sexual flurries of student life—is shocked by her desire to follow this wherever it will take her. When Flannery finds herself enrolled in a class with the remote, brilliant older woman, she is intimidated at first, but gradually becomes Anne Arden's student—Baudelaire, lipstick colors, or how to travel with a lover—Flannery proves an eager pupil, until one day learns more about Anne than she ever wanted to know.

This is a devastatingly beautiful literary work, comparable in quality with Fiona Shaw's Tell It To the Bees. Emotionally, experiencing it is like gazing upon a magnificent painting. Brace yourself for this one, folks, but it's worth it. For fans of Abby Craden, this is a must-listen. She is at her finest here and it is apparent why she is considered one of the best narrators in the business. My heart is still feeling this - I don't think I'll shake it anytime soon.The writing is eloquent and lyrical but god this book was depressing. Not sure if it was the best thing for me to read right now. So it's gorgeous but be forewarned. You may want to stab yourself in the face after reading.
3.5 stars. Beautifully written, haunting love story. A little drawn out. Found the name 'Flannery' endlessly irritating, but it encompasses the name 'Anne,' you see.
A taste of love with a swift kick in the ass of reality.
The writing is pretentious and tries too hard to impress - I'm putting that out there from the start. But I also finished it over two evenings of reading, so there was a compelling pull to the underlying story as well. It probably says more about me than the book that I would have preferred a point of view from the 28 year old rather than the 17 year old. It's divided into three sections - essentially 1) the build-up to the romance 2) the romance and 3) the decline of the romance. There were
Flannery, a 17 year old college student, falls in love with Anne a lecturer at her university. Split into three sections this novel shows the longing, the affair, and the affair's decline. Sometimes overwritten, I was interested in these two characters, but it was just too much of the same: literature, lust, love. It became a very claustrophobic read, and not in a way that made me think that was clever - just a little irritating.
