You know what, I can't even properly respond to this. Not in words, anyway. This is just so infuriating and so enraging and I'm seething in feminist rage and *human* rage and it's just -
Okay. I don't normally comment here, but this one just... AARGH. Somebody actually wrote this, in seriousness? People read this and are attracted to this Patch character

"She likes the attention, but she's not sure how to handle it."That... was where I almost forgot that it's after 1 am, and nearly screamed at the top of my lungs. My family would not have been happy

and just a little bit dangerousSeriously, can someone explain to me: what's with this constant "dangerous" thing? Do people like Fitzpatrick come from a parallel universe in which this word has acquired a whole different meaning? Because personally, I define "dangerous" as "could posssibly cause me harm", and whenever I got the "dangerous" vibe from a guy I tended to run the other way. I can understand having a harmless lady boner for certain gangsters, psychopaths or *cough* government-sanctioned assasins as they're portrayed in the movies, but actually listing "dangerous" as a desirable quality in a mate?! What the fuck is wrong with you, people

My theory is that the "dangerous lover" trait comes from the fact that people like Fitzpatrick are likely miserable and secretly hate their lives, so they create these stories in an attempt to find excitement. Their real lives are boring and going nowhere, so they turn to crap stories like this so they can at least get a sense of false danger. And I thinks that's part of the appeal. The danger is not real, so they can have their wild ride without actually endangering their lives or worrying about the consequences. I think that's where the "It's just a book" excuse comes from too.
While I can understand someone wanting their life to have moments of excitement, books like this go too far. There are PLENTY of books out there that give readers a sense of danger and action, but still maintain good sense.
I'm starting to think that the "First do no harm" oath needs to start being applied to authors as well.
I know I've already said it, but Coach needs to go. This goes against everything in teaching, it's disgusting. And that lesson was nothing but contrived bullshit! God, that was so creepy and humiliating to read, I wanted to go in there and rip Patch out of class myself!
And it's so weird that one minute Vee and Nora seem to be talking sense, yet the next minute they're not freaked out anyt=more and are talking about how hot Patch is >.< Did the author see they were making too much sense or something?
Oh, and to celebrate, this is a short spitefic from me:
