      I honestly really liked the book series. It got popular to shit on the series for being fucked up, but the guys in my group changed their tune when I asked them to read the gender-swapped version of the first book. “Naw, I get it now” was basically a universal sentiment.

        that’s fair. i’m not in the target demo. most of my making fun of it over the years has been because she had a bad editor, frankly. there’s a lot of stuff that slipped through that should not have.

        I worked at borders when the last book in the 4 part series came out. Manager told me to read it. So I speed read the first two

        The only part I liked was the use of blank chapters to represent the passage of time during depression

        The rest was so dullllll

        I don’t know if xmen in the 4th book would have saved me

        When I watched the movie, I turned every line spoken by a vampire into a pickup line and it became fun again, but you shouldn’t have to play games like that with your literature. Or cinema.

        The whole “imprinting on a baby” thing I heard about, that really skeezed me out
