lemony snicket’s a series of unfortunate events, and when i was a little older teri terry’s slated series and the hunger games!

omg this!! im reading a book for my book club at the moment, the first chapter is just the main character bitching about the “popular girls”, calling them annoying and that they need to grow up, without actually mentioning anything bad theyve done other than be pretty and friends with eachother? instant turn off, im trying to continue (reviews online have praised the book for its satire so im holding out a little hope) but it just makes it so unenjoyable to read when i already hate the main character and its so unclear whether that reflects the authors actual views

love triangles have always been one of my least favourite tropes, i can never get invested, maybe its just because ive never met someone in that situation before but it seems so incredibly unrealistic that you are equally in love with two people who are also equally in love with you, just choose one and get on with the story
