Personal Pet Peeve triggered: the word "Omigod."

I'd even done a spell to pump water into the area, thinking I could swim across it.

SO YOU FUCKING CAN CONJURE WATER? WHERE WAS THAT SPELL THIRTEEN PAGES AGO? LITERALLY THIRTEEN PAGES. FUCK.

"Do we get water breaks out here?" I asked the deserted forest, knowing full well no one was going to answer me.

What the fuck kind of magic system do you have-- you have a spell that does your hair and make-up in the morning, another spell that can change your clothes at will, but no spell to conjure up some fucking water? This is bullshit, because it's clearly not a "give and take" system.

Why can't we all, as women, just celebrate each other? There are enough men trying to keep us down: Why would we help to destroy our fellow female-kind?"
"Amen," I said, raising my hands up to the ceiling.

Are you fucking serious? Hadley, you have spent the entire book shaming other girls for being "fake", calling them bitches and barbie-clones. This whole exchange is hollow as fuck and reeks of pandering.

there's so much girl hate in this book-- Hadley literally used the term "barbie clones."

It was raining. And for the first time sine we'd arrived at camp, it didn't feel like a thousand degrees outside. I was so grateful I could've done flip-flops around the grounds.

...what the hell is a flip-flop?
