Overview

Fifteen-year-old Jackie should be obsessing over the cute boy in gym class. Her English teacher, David, should stick to teaching her the nuances of Homer. But Jackie and David aren't sneaking around behind his wife's back to discuss the classics. Jackie never wanted to be this girl, but she can't help loving David the way she does. And David wouldn't risk prison to be with her if he didn't feel the same way. No matter what their secret costs her, Jackie is determined to pay it. At least until she learns that she's not David's only secret... and finds herself facing the most devastating choice she's ever had to make. Andrea Wickberg's debut novel, Grading On A Curve, dives into the murky domain of non-consensual consent. It explores the troubling existence of predators who stand in line with you at Starbucks, the self-deception of the people who love them, and the redemptive healing power of survivors who show up for each other.

Author Information

Andrea Wickberg is a first-time novelist living in Bend, Oregon. She does most of her writing under the cover of darkness, like a really nerdy superhero. During the daylight hours, she enjoys things that have nothing to do with writing, such as managing projects and volunteering for Saving Grace, a local nonprofit which supports abuse survivors. She lives with her family and her cats, who frequently compete to see who can cause the most trouble. (The cats, not the family. Usually.)
