See Me After Class

By: Meghan Quinn

Narrated by: Zachary Webber, Erin Mallon

"Did you have relations with my brother?"

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met who just so happens to be my new friend’s brother.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office; I've been coerced into participating in the teacher's badminton league; and I've instigated passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education and decorum while losing my underwear at the same time.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.

My favorite thing about this book was Greer, the main character and her group of friends. She was such a fun character and I loved her playful nature. The way she interacted with the group, no matter how quirky some of her new friends are she just goes with the flow. Arlo, her love interest was a hard character for me to like. He was a complete snobby jerk for 1/2 this book and I struggled to get on board with his abrupt personality change. I need a jerk to still show a softer side so when we finally shows the lovable side it is believable and his 180 was a little rough. That is not to say I didn't like him because I loved him as the Jerk and I loved him as the good guy it was just the transition I had a hard time with. I also have to give kudos to the P & P references and the grand gesture because I am a huge fan of P & P and especially the Keira Knightly version of the movie. Besides the main characters, this book has the funniest, weirdest side characters. Without all of their friends I'm not sure I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did. I would love more books about their friends.

The narration was perfect, I mean Zachary Webber and Erin Mallon... perfection!

Talk about enemies to lovers - wow!

This is a fantastic audio book! Meghan Quinn is a great romcom writer. She writes a lot of angst as well, and there is some drama in this one, but holy cow, this is a fantastic listen.

You will hate the male lead, Arlo, from the get go. When I say enemies to lovers, I don't mean in the traditional "he's really annoying," too much of a player or the leads clash through sarcasm. Arlo and Greer are literally pitted against each other from the moment she starts her new job. They flight over teaching methods, they fight over book choices, they fight over just about everything from moment one. And for a large part of the book, you think there is no way Arlo can possibly redeem himself, but, oh, boy, does he ever.

This was a really great story, and Zachary Webber and Erin Mallon narrated so well! For Zachary to make us hate Arlo and then turn around and love him, well, his performance was great. Arlo's grand gesture at the end is nothing short of a Jane Austen miracle. And through it all, Zachary was able to portray the disdain, the miscomprehension, the grudging respect, the transformation to respect and love - all of the emotions that Arlo went through. Erin Mallon, as Greer, was fantastic and spot-on in her comedic delivery, as well as her heartache.

Great listen. Highly recommend.

Very good!

Story was very well written. I would love to read more other of her series of other books. Thank You

Lot's of fun!

This was such a great listen. Arlo Turner, head of the English department is a rule follower. He's rigid and believes shaping young minds is done by following the same boring curriculum. Greer is a young and vibrant new teacher whose teaching methods, which include movies, cliff notes, and era dancing, turns Arlo's world upside down. I loved the banter & the practical jokes had me laughing esp. as the friends start getting involved. I had so many laugh-out-loud moments and their chemistry was hot and intense. Zachary Webber and Erin Mallon did a fantastic job with the narration. Zach just keeps getting better at bringing the emotion to his narration.

So Funny!

Things I didn't know I needed in my life: Zachary Webber as a stern teacher and blue pee. Yes, you record that second things properly.

This book is hilarious and just so much more than I expected in general. The chemistry between Arlo and Greer is outstanding and the rest of the supporting characters just drive home everything that makes this read so much fun.

Erin Mallon and Zachary Webber give performances that are incredible (as always), making this one of the best books I've listened to in 2020!
