If every single man around me was a potential murderer who I suspected of stalking me, I would probably not keep hanging around trying to decide which one of them I should date. I would also rule my uncle out of the running for a future romantic relationship right away, even before he drugged me. However Darcy is a wet rag of a girl who spends the book alternately crying hysterically and being disbelieved by the men and lying around comatose waiting to be rescued by them. There is also a second girl, but unlike Darcy, a Good Girl who looks forward to cleaning up for the boys, she is a Bad Girl who tries to destroy men by being mean to them. Lest you think I exaggerate, here is a quote:
“Girls like that just take and take and nothing’s ever enough. They get their kicks from trying to manipulate guys…from humiliating them.”
Meanwhile a man is literally murdering multiple unnamed girls. But let’s focus on the important thing: boys’s egos and the harm women do to them 🙄
