Perfect for a fan of bad fiction. I dearly love it for that. (0 more)
So much. Absurdly silly world-building around classic folklore, ridiculous plot points (clumsiness as a motivation for over-protectiveness, credulous parents whose child can do WTFever she likes no matter how many red flags her behavior should raise). (0 more)
Hilariously bad and awful

The book starts out with much promise, as Ty and Adele have instant chemistry. Even though both have reservations about their relationship, it is obvious to the reader that the pair are good for each other, both romantically and on the ranch.
Ty is easily a rather likable guy, as he is able to humble himself enough to seek help for his career, as well as put aside his own competitiveness for the sake of the concerns of others. Adele, on the other hand, never really seems to mature beyond who is she is introduced in the beginning as. She uses the demise of her parents' marriage and her mother's promiscuous behavior to validate her avoidance of Ty, and later, her lies to him. Even when her mother comes to make amends and change her lifestyle, and she learns more about her parents' marriage, Adele still continues in her own bad behavior. Her behavior is also rather hypocritical from what she claims to want from life.
The ending was a disappointment simply because Adele never really changed her behavior - she only did what she was supposed to thanks to her meddling grandpa. If she had actually managed to make herself stop telling lies without being cornered into it, I likely would have liked her more.

Bad Behavior

Book Favorite

"Bad Behavior is largely about sex, but it’s not cheesy or cheap. In this book of short stories, Gaitskill writes about women in the sex industry, people in power play relationships, S&M, and the general psychology of people who engage in so-called “bad behaviors” in a way that’s honest, sometimes brutal, and always beautiful. (For example, the darkly erotic film Secretary was adapted from a story in the book.) I first read this book around the time that I started Slutever, my blog about sexuality that still exists today, and it gave me confidence that writing about sex was a legitimate pursuit, and could be seen as intelligent, meaningful, and maybe even poetic."

I have mixed feelings about this documentary, well, mostly, about Aaron Hernandez. The series was fairly well balanced until the end, when people began providing reasons to excuse his behavior.
1) There are plenty of people who are closeted that don't murder people...
and
2) There are also many football players that have the same brain condition... and they don't go out and murder people.

Dude was obviously a psychopath, and I feel bad for his family, but I have zero sympathy for him. The last ep totally just... ruined it for me.
