Cute story

This was a cute story, fell in love with the characters easily. Took a while to get used to the narrator not typical of stories I usually listen to. However I enjoyed the book.

Deep, fun, flirty and more...

This is a new author to me and I found myself completely immersed from start to finish. This book has depth, laughter, witty banter, character growth, sizzling moments and more throughout. I'll definitely be looking out for more by the author.
The narration was good too, really made the characters come to life. The only difference I'd prefer would be a male narrator for Martin's pov.

Teach Me

I enjoyed the book. It was decent. Could have done without the third-act breakup trope though.

4.5 Stars

4.5 Stars This was pure joy. Yes, there was angst, yes there was the sweetest slow burn. Longing out the wazoo. Two AP history teachers who initially clash about the use of a classroom. But this was so smart but not pretentious. Full of heart and layers, humour and heat. It is also so refreshing to have a romance with the couple over the age of 40. Despite rocky divorce and Martin's shared custody of his daughter, it's not a bone of contention.

Cute workplace romance

Really cute face paced story

I love that we had characters in their 30s /40s both have been married before and content (not necessarily happy) in their life .

Rose is still holding on to from her childhood upbringing being poor and judged for it . Martin was an outcast in his own family and never felt he could be himself non his marriage .

Rose has a rule never get close to her colleague and that goes double dor new recruit Martin who been given some of her favourite classes however maybe these two have more in common than they realise and find themselves drawn to each through their shared passion of their jobs .

Really lovely story well narrated that really has you feeling their insecurities , their happiness and their attraction for each other.

Side note Rose mother in law and father in law are hilarious and had me laughing out loud knowing numerous occasions with their antics

If you looking for a quick fast paced read with a sweet story and plenty of comedic moment I highly recommend giving this a listen

Extremely Boring!!

It is my first time listening to a book by Olivia Dade, and I think that will be it for me!

While it was very well written, which says a lot about Olivia as a writer, Teach Me was an extremely boring story with an even more boring plot.

To be honest, I struggled right from chapter 1, but pushed myself, hoping it would pick up and get interesing. Alas, I gave up at chapter 8. At that stage, I didn't think it could get better.

The leading man and woman - Martin and Rose had no personality. I found both of them quite unattractive, and I am not talking about their physical descriptions, more like, their none existent personalities.

There was too much of the narrative going on, and the little dialogue there was, was boring and separated with too many pauses to go into long narratives.

I know this story was based in a school and around the US academics and curriculum, but it was ridiculous for the writer to delve so deeply and consistently into it, I was lost, diconnected and bored out of my mind, and that's not just because I'm in the UK.

The narrator didn't help matters. Her accent and tone were boarderline sluggish. She dragged on her words and sounded bored throughout.

I am sorry to be so negative, but this book just didn't do it for me!!
