Loyal to the core, one of the reasons I adore her.Ĭoraline “Cora” Turner-recent divorcée and living with her brother, Arlo. Can be shy at times, but when it comes to her family and friends, she doesn’t take shit from anyone. Currently single, makes the best tamales I’ve ever had, and is one stamp away from getting a free donut at Frankie Donuts. Stella Garcia-Spanish teacher at Forest Heights and my co-coach. She wasn’t thrilled about the book club name and made a noble attempt to explain why her suggestion, the Austen Empowerment Collaborative, was far more credible. Her social etiquette is lacking, her intelligence is off the charts, and she’d rather play with beakers than penises. Keiko “Keeks” Seymour-resident AP chemistry teacher at Forest Heights High School. The four founding members of the Ladies in Heat Book Club-aka my mismatched collection of friends-each bring diverse and unique character traits to our group. “I want to know what’s making Stella so fidgety.” “Cool your bloomers, Keeks,” Coraline says while taking a large sip from her wine glass. “You know the frequency of these meetings is dependent upon staying within the comprehensive itinerary I composed during my lunchbreak.” “Then why bring it up if you’re not going to propose your query?” Keiko asks impatiently while pushing her green-rimmed glasses up on her nose. Shifting, I say, “You know, we don’t have to-” I have a scary inkling what this might be about. “Oh?” I ask, trying to act casual as I bring my glass of red wine to my lips.
“Before we get started, I’ve been told I need to ask you a question.” Stella sits cross-legged in front of me, a nervous look on her face, water in hand. * BingeBooks earns revenue from qualifying purchases as an Amazon Associate as well as from other retail partners.

And instigated into passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education and decorum while losing my underwear at the same time. Coerced into participating in the teacher's badminton league. But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.
My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago. I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met who just so happens to be my new friend’s brother.
