But She Is My Student

By: Kiki Archer

Narrated by: Jessica Jeffries

Miss Katherine Spicer started her first day at Coldfield Comprehensive School confident, enthusiastic, and very well-qualified. That was until she met the eyes of the student hidden in the corner of her classroom. Kat’s final weekend of freedom was about to turn her life upside-down and threaten everything she had been working for; how was she to know those mesmerizing green eyes would reappear here?

Great lesbian chick-lit.

A cross between Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller and Sugar Rush by Julie Burchill.

But She Is My Student follows the journey of Miss Katherine Spicer in her first year of teaching at Coldfield Comprehensive School. She is a gorgeous, intelligent young woman hailed as a fantastic teacher whose two best friends have to keep her spirit alive when she is faced with an impossible situation. How was she to know the woman she kissed would turn up in her A-Level history class?

The novel deals with the many issues of sexuality in a gripping, yet funny manner, pulling the listener back into a world of teenage nostalgia and schoolday memories.

But She Is My Student will make you laugh out loud and have you crying out for the fairytale ending.

A really fantastic lesbian novel that will also appeal to the avid chick-lit reader.

Wild ride

This book was not what I was expecting and that had me pleasantly surprised. I loved every step of the journey this took me on. This book is full of love, and heartbreak across the many characters we hear. It was refreshing.

A very slow burn

There was a lot of various relationships and issues going on, work politics and ethics of teacher and student romance.

There are legitimate moral quandaries that take time to work out.

Forbidden love

Finally! A lesbian novel that is sexy, well written, and real literature. There is so much trash in the lesbian genre. This book rises above a simple sexual romance and rises above an in-your-face expose of the hardships of being a lesbian. At the same time, it includes both of these. You won't be disappointed! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

8 minute reunion at the end

It was good but the reunion left some things unanswered and I wanted to see Bee put in her place. Also the sex scene was boring and took up most of the 8 minute get back together. If you’re going to end a book with a sex scene at least make it worth my while. There’s a sequel that I’m thinking about getting simply because the ending of this one was unsatisfactory. However, the description of the next book details another Bee like character being involved and I’m not sure if I want to go though all that again. Honestly I kinda wish I hadn’t even bothered with this one but I still kinda liked it. I usually don’t feel this conflicted about a book.

Loved it!

The main characters as well as the storyline were quite believable and fun to imagine. Cat and her friends made me want to join them for a night out. I'll definitely read more of Kiki Archer's books. Starting with the sequel today!
