I’ve been looking forward to Sheilagh’s story since I was first introduced to her. She’s a beautiful and an insanely smart woman with a wild streak, and she’s completely in love with the wrong person. At 24, Sheilagh is convinced to go away to school, leaving her small town and huge McCullough family behind. Her older philosophy professor sees her high intellect and knows she not showing her true brilliance in her writings. Alec pushes her for more academically and uncovers some hidden truths of Sheilagh’s mental health. This story is deep and insightful, rich with philosophical views that make this a true joy to read. Lucinda Gainey had a mature voice that adds depth to this age gap, forbidden love story.
