The danger of losing herself in the wrong person. Who is this boy who flirts with her without fear of being caught? Who is this boy who seems immune to consequences and worry a boy for whom the world will always provide?Īs an obsessive, illicit affair begins between them, Imogene is so lost in the haze of infatuation that she’s unable to recognize the danger she’s in. When Imogene meets handsome, popular Adam Kipling a few weeks into her tenure there, a student who exudes charm and status and ease, she’s immediately drawn to him. So, shortly after her college graduation, when she’s offered a teaching position at the Vandenberg School for Boys, an all-boys prep school in Westchester, New York, she immediately accepts, despite having little teaching experience–and very little experience with boys. Shy, introverted Imogene Abney has always been fascinated by the elite world of prep schools, having secretly longed to attend one since she was a girl in Buffalo, New York. Hey all, I will be doing a book review on Indecent, a debut book written by Corinne Sullivan.
