Wild Things: YA Grown-Up discussion

I don't know if this is exactly Contemporary, but I didn't feel like it belonged in Fantasy, even though it deals with faeries...

Anyway, I still can't decide how I felt about this book. The writing was beautiful, but the book made me angry and I never felt really able to connect with the main character. I connected with her/understood her just fine until Ryland came along.

**Spoiler**

I get that she was glamoured into loving him, but the whole time I was reading the scenes with them in it, I couldn't help but wonder how she let him talk to her like that. If some boy spent a majority of his time telling me what was wrong with me, but oh ya... You know I love you right? BTW, you should stop eating so much, ya know?
Umm... ya. I have never been one to leave myself in a situation like that. And, if someone told me we had to keep our love a secret from everyone? I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't want to do it, and I wouldn't see the point to dating someone if we had to spend all our time pretending we weren't.
I get why it happened, but it still made it hard for me to relate to Phoebe.

And I just spent so much time ANGRY that they were treating her this way! Like, seriously! I agree with Benjamin at the end... Just let them die...

**END SPOILERS****


Has anyone else read this one? What did you think?

I loved the book (well mostly). I was a little disappointed with the end. It felt rushed to me, like she wasn't really sure how to end it...

I was very annoyed with the way she allowed herself to be treated as well. I think part of that has to do with my general annoyance with every book that has a pathetic girl who can't live without her fairy, werewolf, vampire, etc. I get the glamour thing, but how do you ditch your bff for a guy that is such a dick? There wasn't ever a time when he was nice either. From the beginning he just made my skin crawl...
