Nutting obliterates this double standard. By writing from Celeste’s perspective, she forces the reader to inhabit the mind of a female predator without the softening filters usually applied to women in fiction. Celeste is not misunderstood; she is not a victim of her circumstances. She is a hunter. This inversion is what makes the book a essential, albeit difficult, study in gender dynamics and sociopathy.
For decades, literature and media have tackled the subject of predatory teachers, yet the trope has almost exclusively been framed through the male gaze. When female teachers are involved in scandals, the narrative often shifts toward ambiguity, framing the relationship as a "romance" or minimizing the abuse because the perpetrator is attractive.
