It's wild to me that you are claiming a book written like 2000 years ago was spoiled for you lol

I felt like it was more self defense. Chase never would have left her alone, he had already attempted to rape her, what would stop him from escalating to murder? Instead of waiting for him to come attack her, she created a situation that she was in control of. I felt it aligned perfectly with who she was, a survivor who since childhood was determined to live and fend for herself.

I thought the ending was more satisfying the way it was. I would have been pretty disappointed if we never actually found out.

It's not you I'm trying to spare, I'm trying to change your mind about giving some poor kid grief about what they're reading. As a teacher it's kind of a priority for me.

If a kid is excited about reading a book, why would you ever want to discourage them? I've seen students struggle to get through required reading, and then as soon as they are able to pick any book they want they devour it and are able to have discussions about it. Would you really want to call what they are reading trash and risk them not bothering to find a book they like again?

I'm not sure why you'd want to present yourself as being so pretentious, good for you for being honest I guess.

You're mistaking something being bad and you just not liking it. Any books that get kids reading are good.
