Rereading this a decade later and in a language I’m not 100% comfortable reading has helped me focus on the plot instead of the vibes, and wow I understand why so many people were up in arms. It’s a fun, ridiculous dark romance, but it’s marketed as young adult, and it’s concerning to think about all the young girls who were exposed to such poor communication at a formative age and have it painted as a great love story. Overall, it’s not a compelling book to me now, though I still had fun at times.
I also watched the movie today, and it was fascinating to see how they moved things around to make it a more evenly paced film.
