Zoey can be mean to Kayla because Kayla is shallow pot smoker, unlike our illustrious Zoey. And expressing any sexual desire, wearing tank tops that expose your cleavage, make-up, or straightening your hair is just being a shallow ho. Zoey is obviously so much better than those inferior girls who want to dress nicely and kiss boys. I really hate how girls who like to dress up and have fun are depicted as shallow sluts. I don't like dressing up myself, but girls who do that aren't inferior to girls who stay at home and read. What would have been interesting would be an exploration of men being victims. Aphrodite was attempting to rape him. But I should obviously look elsewhere for that. And just think, you only have five more chapters to go. But then you have twelve books, and they get progressively worse. Thanks for the sporking, and good luck.
