[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MS librarian here...this series (both books and show) has horrible characters and situations yet is the first "romance" many kids (mostly girls) want to read. SO many are asking for it this school year and our copies are out so I try to get them to read other, better romances.

Among so many issues, the whole "girl falls in love with boys who are like brothers to her" thing is skeevy...clearly she just likes the attention and they are all getting horrible experience with what to look for or expect from a significant other. Ugh. [/quote]

The brothers thing is weird, but that's one of the main reasons people are so interested in the story whether they want to admit it or not. It'd otherwise be another bland love triangle. I don't like that our tolerance for weird is going down, this is why we don't get those fun 90s rom coms anymore.

re: what to look for or expect from a significant other: I kinda agree with you on this though. People are gonna think guys like Conrad change, but they don't. But eh, at the end of the day it's fiction, so whatever. [/quote]
