Ladies and gents, she’s done it again! Meghan Quinn has created yet another must read. It’s got everything you could want: fun, steam, and plenty of angst.
Pike Greyson is the new history teacher but is originally a
well to do Brit that’s in the U.S. now in an attempt at escaping from the
overwhelming nature of his father and his expectations. Cora is the recently
divorced sister to Arlo, the head teacher at the school Pike now works at and is
also friends with several of the teachers there. (If you’ve read any of the
other books in this series, I’m sure I don’t need to explain it all to you.) Despite
meeting previously on occasion, Pike and Cora haven’t ever really talked, but
when they run into each other in Las Vegas one weekend, they hit it off. That
night they drink too much, especially Cora’s archnemesis Fireball, and wind up
married. Unfortunately for Pike (and Cora), Pike’s father finds out that he’s
married her, and basically coerces his own son into either making their new
marriage real or losing his beloved foundation that he started with his
brother, Killian. What follows is a lot of hilarity and plenty of angst in Pike
and Cora’s journey together.
In this book, we get to see Cora on a whole new level, and I
absolutely adore her. She was the fun, spunky, a little bit crazy baby sister
of Arlo’s before, but in Put Me In Detention she’s her own vibrant but
vulnerable heroine. She brings so much comedic flair to this story, especially
when it comes to her love/hate relationship with Fireball and her group chats
with her girlfriends. Then there’s Arlo. He surprised me. I’m not sure what I
expected from him when we were first introduced to him before this book, but I
like his character. He’s got heart and charm, and it would be hard to not fall
in love with him.
Their relationship has so much passion and their story is
incredibly well written. It’s the sort of storytelling that I’m accustomed to
from Quinn, and I think that’s probably why her books are always must reads for
me. She’s got a way of writing details about her characters where when there’s
heartbreak, you can literally feel it. When one of her characters is devastated,
you sincerely feel for them. She’s good at making you fall in love with her
stories, breaking your heart, and don’t worry, putting you back together. It’s
great storytelling to say the least.
I’m not sure what to say other than read this book. It’s
best if you read the previous books in the series but not altogether necessary.
If you’re a fan of romance, and especially romantic comedies, this book is for
you.
