      Oh this one is really something. Even as a clueless teen I still had WTF moments, and I don’t even want to read it now, I just know I will be cringing the whole time.

      If I had read that series a few years earlier I probably would have liked it. It felt like the author just hated women, and I was just old enough to go “What the hell?”

      Edit: It’s been a while, can’t remember if this is the one I’m thinking of or if I read a similar series at the same time.

        No, I think you’re thinking of the correct one. There’s a lot of weird sexual hangups about women in there that seem odd as a teen, and disqualifyingly gross as an adult.

          I remember trying this series out in my teens, having already gone trough quite a few, and I remember it being the first book I just dropped under a half trough, but I couldn’t remember why until know. I just remembered it as shallow and depressing to read.
