Regina Gottlieb had been warned about Professor Nicholas Brodeur long before arriving as a graduate student at his prestigious university high on a pastoral hill. He’s said to lie in the dark in his office while undergraduate women read couplets to him. He’s condemned on the walls of the women’s restroom and enjoys films by Roman Polanski. But no one warned Regina about his exceptional physical beauty - or his charismatic, volatile wife.
My Education is the story of Regina’s mistakes, which begin in the bedroom and end - if they do - 15 years in the future and thousands of miles away. By turns erotic and completely catastrophic, Regina’s misadventures demonstrate what can happen when the chasm between desire and duty is too wide to bridge.

Featured Article: The Best Bisexual Listens by Queer Authors
Listeners on the hunt for stories that center the bisexual experience know what a challenge it can be. Here, we’ve tried to lighten the lift with a list of the best bisexual listens across genres and age categories. And because we know that authenticity is important to listeners, all of the selections on this list were written by queer and bisexual authors. We hope to see more wonderful and nuanced stories depicting bisexual characters going forward.

The story its self is both touching and has great potential for comic relief, but mostly the reading is cringe worthy.
Still listing but the narrator...

Terrific story

Growing up, coming of age is necessary, painful, sometimes without grace. Coming of age is a mixed up mess. Add the student/teacher affair and this mess multiplies tenfold. If there is anything good that comes of it, it's the learning and growth, the should haves and shouldn'ts. But so much risk, betrayal, damage, loss of innocence.
This book has it all. It felt long however it kept my interest. I found each character real and lovable, with so many flaws yet so convincingly lovable. It all seemed plausible in a fantastic sort of way. I also thought the narrator expressed each character well.

Would you try another book from Susan Choi and/or Tavia Gilbert?
Yes, I really like her language and use of words.What did you like best about this story?
There were constant surprises. It was hard to guess where the characters where going to end up. Not the story I expteced but I enjoyed it.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Martha's character sounded too dramatic, I wanted to tell her to shut up constantly.Was My Education worth the listening time?
Yes.Any additional comments?
Martha and Reginas releationship was constantly driving me nuts. I wonder if there releationship would read the same way on the page.Good Story, a tad bit dramatic

I got nothing out of it except that I wish I never came across it.
First, it was not what I expected from the description.
I decided upon the book thinking it would be about a girl/boy affair.
However, it is mostly about a girl/girl affair not a girl/boy which is fine if that interests you,
but it's not what interests me.
BIG part of why I hated it also (SPOILER) was there were no grounds for why Regina
all the sudden was struck by Martha. And also never went into why she was so taken with her
other than their times in bed.
The ending just sealed it as an awful book.
Hated the part where they meet 14 years later, but I guess being the kind of people they are
it wasn't surprising.
Furthermore, it didn't make sense. I find it very hard to believe in such relationships.
For example, how Dutra could find no one else in his life after so many years. Just a little ridiculous.
Lastly, it was disjointed in the way that the bits of philosophical musings did not pair up well with the story.
That is to say that they stood better alone because they were not illuminated by the story.
The reader's voice of Regina is a bit annoying, took me a while to get used to.
However, the reader did a great performance in finding a distinguishing voice for all the characters.
