Jack is enthralled and in awe of his eighth-grade teacher, and, most importantly, willing to accept Celeste's terms for a secret, forbidden romance--car rides after dark, rendezvous at Jack's house while his single father works the late shift, and body-slamming erotic encounters in Celeste's empty classroom. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress of pure motivation. She deceives everyone, is close to no one, and cares little for anything but her pleasure in this gripping psychological thriller.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTampa\u003c\/i\u003e is a sexually explicit, virtuosically satirical, American Psycho-esque rendering of a monstrously misplaced but undeterrable desire. Laced with the black humor of a dark comedy and crackling sexualized prose, Alissa Nutting's \u003ci\u003eTampa\u003c\/i\u003e is a grand, seriocomic examination of the want behind student \/ teacher affairs and a scorching literary debut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Tampa | Alissa Nutting | Paperback | 9780062280589 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1766441","offer_id":49376933085336,"sku":"1766441","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81sE8CVetSL.jpg?v=1783023138","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/tampa","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
