good book

this book is also amazing. i love it how its kind of her dairy. i also notice as i was reading this book that shes to embarrassed to say what she did so she says "you know" to let you imagine. this book is a must read book.=] so read it!

Not as bad as you'd think

From the reviews on here, it looks like some people are automatically criticizing this book just because it is not a true story. I read "Treacherous Love" when I was 14 (like Jennie) so maybe I saw it on her level. Although this book is not based on a true story, similar events have happened. Sadly there have been a number of girls (and a few boys) who have been taken advantage of by teachers. "Treacherous Love" could easily be a composite of cases like this. In the book, Jennie's life takes a bad turn. Her father leaves, and her mother becomes distant. Then her best friend Bridget gets a boyfriend and stops spending time with her. Jennie's only friend is a substitute teacher at her school name Mr. Johnstone. She trusts him, and he makes her feel self-worth. But soon their relationship turns romantic, and he tells her she has to keep it secret. Although Mr. J should not have taken indecent liberties with her, Jennie should have known something was wrong and got away from him sooner.

great book!

In the book Trecherous Love, Jennie thinks that Mr.J likes her not only just a student but beyond that. She thinks he likes her. this book is about Jennie's total trust to Mr.J. what she doesn't know is she has alot ahead of her. READ IT IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE.

Treacherous Love

I never wanted to put the book down! I think all teens should read this,it is a lesson to be leared and it helps u look at life a different way. So i think this book derves five stars!
