All the world's a stage - and nowhere is it that more true than at an all-girls high school, particularly one where a scandal has just erupted. When news spreads of a high school teacher's relationship with his underage student, participants and observers alike soon take part in an elaborate show of concern and dismay. But beneath the surface of the teenage girls' display, there simmers a new awareness of their own power. They obsessively examine the details of the affair with the curiosity, jealousy, and approbation native to any adolescent girl, under the watchful eye of their stern and enigmatic saxophone teacher, whose focus may not be as strictly on their upcoming recital as she implies.

This is a very prose/language driven book. It is more about the language itself and the dialect used to tell its story rather than actually telling a story. Though it was charming and captivating, it wasn’t for me — I didn’t enjoy the story and didn’t get much from it. I couldn’t get into it like I thought I would, sadly.
This just isn’t my kind of thing. It’s not my cup of tea nor is it something I would typically like, and I can’t judge the book badly for that. It really is a case of “it’s not you, it’s me”.
Undated; won’t count for my read 2018.
Unrated; don’t want to skew ratings.
