What Was She Thinking? [Notes on a Scandal] (2003) by Zoe Heller. Seemingly based on the true story of Mary Kay Letourneau, this book tells the story of a female teacher who has an affair with one of her students, age 15. It is also, maybe more so, the story of her friend, another teacher who knows her secret and fails to keep it. For such a sensational topic, the book is not the interesting, especially the first half. It does pick up interest when the affair becomes public and the repercussions for all concerned become clear.
