The ending was very flat and disappointing, but the tension and drama was interesting. It probably wouldn't have worked if the affair/gender roles weren't flipped. (The student fell in love with the wife instead of the classic prof). I remember it being wordy but I like a lot of description and atmosphere so it didn't really bother me. A lot of the same words (erstwhile!!) were used a lot which sometimes took away from the moment by just getting thru the grocery list of description. Beautiful writing for certain. The plot had some amazing "holes" that left the reader wondering... I think I could have read the last section "2007" and enjoyed it just fine! The author's understanding of aging in this last section was very well-expressed. I guess the intense relationship details at the beginning of the novel were evidence of the strong emotions of a young love...Nevertheless, it was hard to square the character's changes...How did she end up marrying Matt? Susan Choi is clearly a talented author...
"Choi has taken seriously the sexual love between two women who see themselves as straight. This choice of subject matter is an exciting one, for if a number of the great novels of the past century have been stories of gay love, no really adequate literature of bisexuality exists."

Regina Gottlieb had been warned about Professor Nicholas Brodeur long before arriving as a graduate student at his prestigious university high on a pastoral hill. He's said to lie in the dark in his office while undergraduate women read couplets to him. He's condemned on the walls of the women's restroom and enjoys films by Roman Polanski. But no one warned Regina about his exceptional physical beauty--or his charismatic, volatile wife. My Education is the story of Regina's mistakes, which begin in the bedroom and end--if they do--fifteen years in the future and thousands of miles away. By turns erotic and completely catastrophic, Regina's misadventures demonstrate what can happen when the chasm between desire and duty is too wide to bridge.
