Dateable: Are You? Are They? by Hayley DiMarco, Justin Lookadoo
1.0
I was looking through my Goodreads shelves and realized I never reviewed this horrible book that I read as a teenager back in 2006. Yes, it was 11 years ago and I still remember it, because this book is straight-up Christian propaganda masquerading as Cool Life Advice For Teens. (I still remember the part that said that you should never share a bed with your boyfriend/girlfriend because you JUST MIGHT have sex and that's obviously bad. "You're not 'sleeping together,'" the passage read. "You're just SLEEPING TOGETHER." Wow, it's almost like the same phrase can mean totally different things!
Anyway, what pisses me off the most about this is that these types of Christians are always trying to sneak their sexist, bullshit ideology into everything without warning. A Jewish atheist kid shouldn't be able to pick this book up off the library shelf and have no idea that it's going to be a blatant attempt at proselytization. Yuck. Libraries shouldn't buy this crap.
