Synopsis
Aubrey Price is in the final months of her undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto. Bright, witty and fiercely independent, Aubrey works part-time for the college Dean and has her sights set on graduating with distinction. When she meets Dean Grant’s son, Daniel, the TA in her senior Shakespearean studies course, a shared love of the Bard’s works and an instant mutual attraction draw Aubrey and Daniel together. Unfortunately, a strict anti-fraternizing policy, made more perilous by a black mark on Daniel’s record, keeps them apart.
Against this academic backdrop, Aubrey and Daniel navigate their way through a steamy courtship, their forbidden romance aided, abetted and sometimes thwarted by a colorful cast of friends, family and classmates.
Review
I
was provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
The
Weight of Words was like a breath of fresh air. My heart went pitter patter in
this one. This story was so well-written,
heart-wrenching and gave me all the FEELS.
Aubrey
Price is in her last year of college where she finds herself falling for the TA
(teachers assistant) in her senior Shakespeare English class. Daniel Grant is
intelligent, hot, and off limits to students. This may be a serious problem as Daniel’s past plays a huge
role in why he cannot pursue Aubrey. However, the heart wants whom the heart
wants and that is an even bigger problem for Daniel and Aubrey.
Talk
about romance! This story brought me back to my high school days where I read a
lot of Shakespeare. Daniel and Aubrey connect through their love of literature
and it is a common thread throughout their relationship. I fell in love with
all the sonnets and the references to Shakespeare throughout this book. It
added such depth and character to the story. It gave it such an elegant and
romantic feeling throughout. I absolutely love Daniel and Aubrey. Their
characters are real and relatable. Your heart goes out to them as you watch
them fall for each other. While their relationship is forbidden, their hearts
believe differently. You truly feel how they yearn for each other, as they are
unable to be together.
This
is not your typical student-teacher ish romance. It is so much more than that.
It’s about love not knowing boundaries. The writing? Flawless! Although a bit
slower, than my usual reads, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Daniel and
Aubrey’s story was beautiful and magical.
Love definitely conquers all. I cannot wait to see what is in store for
them in the future.
