Okay, the book finally settled in. I'm still not happy, but it became proper horror instead of a 1950s critique of a female teenager who won't toe a religious ideal. It's still dated, but that's okay, I don't mind dated. As long as it's not making me actively angry, I might finish it. This is why I try to read to the halfway point.

I can't wait to get to 50% of this book so I can DNF it. It's beyond dated and tedious and boring. It's insulting. There is no horror, there are only virginal men fantasizing about, and then endlessly mansplainin' to each other how 16-year-old girls *should* behave. Then they call her names when she doesn't live up to their imagined expectations.
This book isn't a classic, it's just awful.
