The thing is, it feels lately that the more the authors try to be different, the more they are not.nathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861127753744077469.post-66497917243098685702014-04-30T22:25:09.787-04:002014-04-30T22:25:09.787-04:00Blogger hates me right now.

It's just part of her immaturity, which I thought was fitting to the character. But it is a terrible excuse for cheating, especially if at the end of the book you're still equally immature. <br /><br />As for the rant, I don't think it's guilt. I see it as a dig at feminist discourse or something like that.

I'm just very disappointed.<br /><br />Loved the tl;dr version: Love, In English gets a NOPE in every language. <-- I certainly concur at this point.
