Considering this book is about a highly intelligent teenager in a college setting, the language in this book is incredibly negative toward female intelligence and education. While Claire is supposed to be overly smart, Caine chooses to instead present her as incredibly ignorant and more interested in "hot boys" than her education, which she apparently begged her parents to pursue. Why can't a girl be both smart and interested in relationships and sex? 
 Shame on Rachel Caine for writing this garbage. It is a terrible representation of being a bright young person, college experience, and adult behavior. 
 The above overshadows the interesting content in this book so strongly, I can't imagine how it'd be acceptable to anyone.
