You'll be angry at most of the characters (and, in turns, the author, for being such a moron) the whole way through. I've never wanted to smack characters in a book quite so much. Yes, they really are teaching young girls that abuse within a relationship is good, even (gag, choke) ROMANTIC. F*cking hell.
(Friend of mine is/was heavy into the books, stuck 'em under my nose. NOT MY FAULT!)
They're ... well, they're the literary equivalent of circus peanuts -- you know those foamy orange candies? You can blast through each book in hours. There's nothing to them, and when you're done, you're left with a vague queasy feeling and a very bad taste in your mouth.

I wasn't aware of the abuse until recently. I am going to have to have some serious discussions with my niece who is all up in these things. Guh!
Because, girls don't have enough issues to deal with in this culture, we have to keep romanticizing the stalker=TWUWUV ideal.
