Fearing that the controversy will damage his prospects, they pressure Esme to remove herself from his life. Noah has other ideas.

BANNED & unbanned!!

IN OCTOBER 2024, AMAZON BANNED TEACHER’S PET DUE TO CONTENT THEY DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE. THEY DID NOT SPECIFY WHAT CONTENT THEY HAD IN MIND. THE CONTENT IN THE BOOK IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR A BOOK PUBLISHED IN THE USA DURING THE LAST CENTURY. NOR IS IT OUT OF PLACE IN THE STORY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TEACHER AND HER STUDENT. SO WHY DID THEY BAN TEACHER’S PET? WHO KNOWS? MAYBE THEIR REVIEW ALGORITHM MALFUNCTIONED OR THEIR HUMAN REVIEWER, IF THEY HAD ONE, COMES FROM A CULTURALLY CONSERVATIVE AREA. IN ANY CASE I AM APPEALING THEIR STRANGE DECISION. MEANWHILE THE BOOK REMAINS AVAILABLE ON OTHER EBOOK PLATFORMS.
