About this deal

In doing so, she reveals the complex nature of her own personality too. Whilst you might think at first that Sheba is the monster of this story, you start to wonder whether Barbara might be just as despicable. i do think this is a controversial novel, but it is brilliantly written. and you can get all emotional and "think of teh children," on it, but that's not really useful.this is something that happens, and i would rather not live in a cave, wearing blinders, reading nicholas sparks. i wanna be informed. Celeste Price is a beautiful 26-year-old woman who is unhappily married to Ford, an alcoholic police officer with a wealthy family. She is secretly a hebephile, and has constructed her life to facilitate the pursuit of 14-year-old boys. The novel opens just before her first day as an English teacher at Jefferson Junior High, where she plans to seduce a student. Thanks so much for reading my review!

It tells the story of an imprisoned paedophile and his correspondence with a 19 year old girl experiencing similar desires for a young boy. They definitely aren’t the sort of pen pals your mum encouraged you to write to! Tampa by Alissa Nutting is the story of one Celeste Price, an attractive young married woman who has a dark secret – she has a fetish for young teenage boys. So far, her cravings have been left unsatisfied, but she has just taken up a permanent teaching post in a high school. As readers we judge her character...her actions... her thinking...our emotions are swimming in different directions....There was no way for women, for anyone, to gracefully age.After a certain point, any detail like the woman's cheerleader hairstyle that implied youth simply looked ridiculous. Despite her athletic prowess, the jogger's cratered thighs seemed more like something that would die one day than something that would not. I didn't know how long I had before this window slammed down on my fingers as well - with diligence, and avoiding children, perhaps a decade. The older i became, the harder it would be to get what I wanted, but that was probably true of everyone with everything. The biggest downfall is that Nutting really never gives us that principle connection to the main character. The most interesting characters, especially anti heroes, have to have something that causes us to root for them. There has to be a sympathetic core to these people for us to relate to (the TV series 'Dexter' does this fantastically) but that is never achieved with the protagonist here. Tampa is told in the first-person, by predatory teacher Celeste. She is Nutting’s most provocative act. A monstrous, mono-focused creature whose sole earthly purpose is to bed fourteen year-old boys. Everything else in her life is an impediment, including her husband Ford, a police officer with family money. Her entire day is spent plotting seductions and fantasizing about adolescents. She apparently doesn’t have any other interests or hobbies. Celeste is driven purely by lust. She is not in love with her conquests. To the contrary, she intends to dispose of them as soon as they grow out of the narrow developmental level she requires to satiate herself. I wondered what percentage of the Jefferson Junior High students – if I came to them in the middle of the night, naked – would agree to have sex with me even if it would mean they’d die forty-eight hours later. I guessed there would be at least a small few. Teenage Euthanasia Renewed for Season 2 at Adult Swim". MovieWeb. 2022-04-03 . Retrieved 2023-07-05.

Not a terrible read by any means and Nutting does show glimpses of wit with some astute observations with some lovely acerbic undertones. This story is told entirely from the POV of Celeste Price. She has no shame in telling you, in detail, about her overt sexual proclivities, including graphic descriptions of her sexual trysts with boys.

Celeste is married and very attractive with a never ending sexual thirst for teen boys, not teen boys that look like young men but teen boys who still look like, well, young teenage boys.
