Susan Choi's Trust Exercise
I'll start by saying that I knew the "twist" of this novel before I started it, which made the first part--involving a student at a performing arts high school. her new boyfriend, and the charismatic teacher in charge--more palatable, but conversely made me more impatient for it to end. It's all very pretentious, and I'd have given up if I didn't know what was coming. I liked the second half much more, though the last section did not entirely work for me. An interesting novel, but I think one that was over-hyped to me. B/B+.
