My Education

Reviews

“A raw, wild, hurtling foray into the tangled realms of sexuality and self-knowledge..”

“Gets top marks for slyly re-inventing the affaire de l’académie in My Education.”

“This smart exploration of bisexuality follows a series of relationships and sexual encounters that explore the complexity of the characters’ desires.”

“A scorching hot read…a chaise-lounge literary page-turner par excellence: sexy, smart, well plotted, jammed with observations witty and profound, and so well written it occasionally leaves you gasping.”

“Explores a young heart and its painfully naïve and bold ways…It’s The Graduate meets The L Word meets the Carey Mulligan flick An Education.”

“Elegantly written…[Choi is] a graceful, perceptive writer.”

“A smart and witty novel about college life…Choi gives this worn setup all the nubile energy of a new school year.”

“Captivating…In intimate, erotic detail, the novel tackles the brutality of love and how an innocuous flirtation can become an all-consuming affair.”

“Both erotic and literary.”

“My Education…establishes how good a novelist Choi has become.”

“A deeply human tale of intentional mistakes, love and lust, and the search for a clearer vision of one’s self.”

“Captures the heady romanticism that infuses a youthful love affair before the responsibilities and realities of adulthood set in. This is a masterful coming-of-age novel.”

“Dark and stormy…Choi keeps the moments between her characters believable while building momentum toward the illicit lovers’ inevitable falling-out.”
