Yeah, that's a great point. After I wrote you my comment yesterday, I decided to re-read the book again to try and figure out why I'd hated it so much the first time. I read about one hour's worth, and in that time she mentions anime, manga, and cute manga boys several times, and talks about how she needs to go to her room and be in private so she can read Draco x Harry slashfic. I'd been feeling kind of guilty like 'I shouldn't be accusing everyone who wants to write gay male content of fetishizing' but after I re-read those scenes, I was like 'Ohhhhhhhhhh that's why! Yeah, I remember now!'

I'm still chugging through it, I'm about 1/6th of the way through.

Edit - oh, I almost forgot, she is Simon's 'best friend' but she keeps squeee-ing about how cute and adorable he and his boyfriend are together and how she used to have a crush on him. It's so uncomfortable to read about.

Haha, I don't mean to dump all my complaints about this book on you. It's just that I have no one else IRL to whine to. Anyone else would be like WTF are you re-reading something you already know you hate??
