Teen seduced in '90s; a tale of manipulation.

Dive into "Seventeen" and you'll be transported to the '90s with its unforgettable Britpop culture, but this is more than just a nostalgic trip. Joe Gibson's story will strike a chord, especially if you've ever found yourself at a crossroads in youth, where innocence meets the complexities of adult relationships. The psychological depth here unpacks the long-term effects of manipulation and the sometimes blurred lines of consent. It's a raw, thought-provoking read you won't easily shake off.

Description

Engaging and engrossing, frank and frankly troubling, Seventeen is a book not easily forgotten. It’s 1992. Like every other seventeen-year-old boy, Joe has one eye on his studies, the other on his social life – smoking, Britpop, girls. He’s looking ahead to a gap year full of travel and adventure before university when his teacher – attractive, mid-thirties – takes an interest in him. It seems like a fantasy come true. For his final two years at school, he is bound to her, a woman twice his age, in an increasingly tangled web of coercion, sex and lies. Their affair, a product of complex grooming and a shocking abuse of authority, is played out in the corridors of one of Britain’s major private schools, under the noses of people who suspected, even knew, but said nothing. Thirty years on, this is Joe’s gripping record of the illicit relationship that dominated his adolescence and dictated the course of his life for seventeen years. With a heady dose of nineties nostalgia and the perfectly captured mood of those final months at school, Joe charts the enduring legacy of deceit and the indelibility of decisions made at seventeen.
