Ok but why does almost every blonde girl who likes makeup and shows off cleavage have to be such an empty brat who has misogynistic thoughts..? 
 'Maxon can run the country just fine. He's trained for it. Besides, he has teams of people to help him make decisions, so why would he want someone else trying to tell him what to do? If I were you, I'd start learning how to be quiet. At least until he marries you'. 
 Behold, here, a YA novel. Why so much girl on girl hate, too? America has absolutely no reason to hate Celeste. She only does because she thinks she's annoying because she carries herself, because she is self conscious. 
 When I read the quote by Celeste , the blonde "bimbo" I almost couldn't continue, but then when Janelle got sent out because, surprise, surprise , she said something about the perfect, pure 'doesn't know she's pretty but actually is basically Angelina Jolie' MC and the prince, as the knight in shining armor, just wasn't having that. I knew that would be the reason the second I heard Janelle was sent out. 
 I just wasn't a fan of the sexism . Especially not in a book writtem by a female author. Of course, not every female author is required to be this modern 'fuck the patriarchy' role model but blatant sexism puts me off. 
 Oh and Aspen, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the female being the breadwinner. Seriously? 
 You'd think that gender roles would be obsolete two world wars from now. Also was this supposed to be a dystopia? Lol. 
 Illea; Gilead. See the resemblance there too?
