The way this books talks of theater bugs me as well. Maybe I’m just too protective of my art form, haha. But, well, I feel like Angela doesn’t have enough experience in a theater to really judge good performances from bad, and she’s so judgemental of heightened dialogue — as if all theater isn’t in some sense heightened. Heightened does not equal bad or unrealistic. Suspension of disbelief is a thing yknow.

Book has somewhat redeemed itself because the main character learned that theater is actually a lot of work and skill, and there was a sex scene where people were actually enjoying themselves and both fully into it. Still don’t like how this book handles some material.

I hate the way almost all the men in this book won’t take no for an answer. I am furious that the women are treated as adults when they are teenagers and underage. I am so done with the main character refusing to accept she is pretty when everyone tells her the opposite. She — as narrator — even describes herself with adjectives that make one think of someone who looks nice, but can’t accept she looks nice.

Pretty engaging, actually, and the character building isn’t bad, but there’s a lot of Eurocentric beauty standards.
