Gabby I would rather stick live octopuses onto my cornea than read this trash again.

Its what im doing. You might not enjoy it as much being mad at characters for something you know they do in the future that they dont know but youre still loving the books.(less)

ummm why are the words crossed out in the book???? I don't get it
Sky They're crossed out because it's like she thought it but she doesn't want to believe it or to think that the idea she just thought of was possible. Ha…moreThey're crossed out because it's like she thought it but she doesn't want to believe it or to think that the idea she just thought of was possible. Half of the time this happens when she begins to like a boy and doesn't want to believe it's true that she could love him, when she thinks something like, "Oh he's so beautiful." it's crossed off because she doesn't actually want to believe it's true that she likes him. Stupid example but, if you like broke your parents vase then hide it. and they walk in and are like "I'm so glad I have your trust." You may think but you don't and then cross that though out because you don't want to think of yourself as guilty. Do you sort of understand? (less)

Might be distasteful, might be comic.
And even if someone likes bolder scenes, is quite sad to observe than love in opinion of YA outhors is mostly reduced to desire.(less)
