Jill never thought that she would willingly go back to highschool especially at the age of twenty-seven. Jill knew that however much she hated the thought of highschool again she had no other choice but to enter the school as a senior. Jill's one goal was to find out what happened to her sister Susan. They told her family that she killed herself but Jill knew better. Susan would never have committed suicide. Highschool was more difficult and more fun than Jill ever thought it would be. Jill snubbed the cheerleaders and hung out with the jocks. Making things more difficult was the fact that Jill was terribly attracted to her civics teacher.
Doug Lacayo was disgusted with himself. Never before has he felt such an attraction to a student. Jill was driving him crazy with her overwhelming sensual personality. Man he wanted her and knew he could not have her and it was all too much. He could lose his job or end up in jail if he acted on his thoughts.
I found this story humourous at times, but unreal at others. How could a twenty-seven-year-old pass as a seventeen-year-old? Okay, that might be possible, but Jill took it too far by actually dating some high school boys. If that were not bad enough, she allowed them into her apartment and drank alcohol with them. Jeez, just how many laws was she breaking. Add to that is what she was doing to Doug. The man is a teacher and she cannot seem to understand why he is paranoid to be alone with a student, isn't it obvious. I thought her nickname of Lolita in the book was right on target. Although the attraction was evident while Doug and Jill were pretending to be teacher and student, it seemed to me that it went out the window once Jill revealed the truth. It was like the attraction was in the forbidden. Not only that but the mistrust that Jill has for Doug was totally unwarranted. If anything Doug is the one that should be concerned about trusting Jill.
I thought the story had lots of potential, but the more that I read the more disappointed that I became. The plot was great, but in the end I felt that it fell flat.
