Bland Protagonist: I'm a feminist but.... Evil Girl is SO fake and I HATE her she's so PRETTY god I haaaate her because she's with my sort of ex who was a jerk anyway.

Like.. just because you toss a bunch of feminist terms around and keep wishing you were cool like a riot grrrl, doesn't mean shit until you actually change your attitude. God.

Woooow, absolutely unnecessary love triangle!!! And more Super Relevant Plot Stuff conveniently overheard by being in the exact right place at the exact right time. And of course, more devil plots from Evil Girl Antagonists Inc.

Cartoonishly Villainous Teacher: abortion is bad and wrong!!!
Bland Protagonist: well i never said it wasn't.. technically
Charicature Of Good Christian Schoolgirl: abortion is awful!
Bland Protagonist: well my sister didn't even have one so.. there
Outspoken Badass Friend: abortion is a valid choice
Bland Protagonist: she's right you know

God I'm getting so frustrated with this whole setup.

God there's so much "i felt like a bad feminist" and "this was so antithetical of riot girl values!" like... yes, you are, and yes, it is, now please fix it instead of like.. making out with The Cute Boy™

For a book supposedly about feminism, there's a serious lack in.. y'know, actual feminism. Starting to think I should DNF rather than continue to groan at the latest disappointments.
