First Read: 
The first time I read this was in middle school and it’s so troubling to remember how much I internalized a male-apologist attitude. I had a love-hate relationship neither this book because I loved how intense it was but I hated America’s choices and just wanted her to do everything she could to find love regardless of her morals… so glad I’m not in that place any more. 

Second Read:  
America is an under appreciated epic badass. This series needs to be reprinted with new covers so that more people pick it up because it actually has some real depth alongside a sweet and silly story.
