Knowing Jack
by Rachel Curtis
Genre: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance
Release Date: January 17, 2014
SYNOPSISI am not a slut, although I’ve been called one often enough. Yeah, I spent three months screwing one of my college professors, but I was crazy about the guy. Then he broke up with me.
I am not a bitch, although people like to say I am. I kept our relationship secret. I’m not responsible for telling the university administrators about it, but a lot of students still blame me for getting their favorite professor fired.
I am not a drama queen, although everyone thinks I am now. When I got a few nasty messages, I just deleted them. When I got the threat, I assumed it was someone being stupid. I still think that’s all it was. My parents worry, though, so they hired me a bodyguard. Now Jack follows me around, intimidating everyone who approaches me and looking obnoxiously hot.
This is what I am. I’m Chloe. I’m a twenty-year-old art history major. Kind of shy, although I pretend not to be. Stubborn enough to stay here for my senior year, even though everyone hates me.
And I’m stuck with Jack.
He calls me “Princess,” but I’m not a princess either.
REVIEW
I was really intrigued upon reading Knowing Jack's synopsis thus I signed up for the book tour. Why? Because she fell for her professor and that's very... weird? It was weird as it was intriguing because I've been a fan of forbidden relationships since Twilight and Forbidden and I just can't seem to get enough of forbidden-ness.
Plot: Knowing Jack's plot is good enough, although not that much polished. I'm glad they met on the first few chapters because it's crucial—It makes the reader decide to read and finish the book or to not read it at all. The plot twists were very.. How do you say this...? Predictable? It's as though they weren't plot twists at all. Or they were just so common that I have read other books with plot twists same as the ones in this book.
Jack: I really liked the interluding chapters written in Jack's POV because it gives me a break in reading from a bratty, bullied girl's POV. Jack's evolution all throughout the book was extraordinary. From the control freak, he went to being outrageous and loving and brave. I love how he reacts when he's Chloe. They have chemistry that makes me want to read and read and read.
Chloe: To be honest, Chloe and I didn't go off to a good start. She was like a drama queen borrowed from Mean Girls. But toward the end of the novel, she became a slightly likeable character. She decided to suck it all up and face the world. Good girl, Chloe.
To sum up, Knowing Jack was a really good read because it's a breath of fresh air. I've never seen a book where a student falls in love with her professor. AND THE ENDING, GAAAAH. I WANT MORE. MORE.
