What is it about 2000 YA that every female main character isn’t the prettiest or coolest, and yet still needs to put down other girls? I know that high school is like this but must it be written? Point in reference: “the sort of girls Clary had never liked at St. Xavier’s, sporting pink jelly miles and fake tans.” Yes, I get it Clary - you’re not a stuck up prep. /sigh Otherwise, enjoying the book so far lol
