"It's true. Zoey is the Native American Bella Swan! Nooo! DX
You're right in that she's trying to have it both ways. She also doesn't want to lose Erik, so she readily agrees with him about her breakup with Heath. Why does she treat guys like toys?"
That part hasn't come up yet in Ghosts of the Abyss, but you'll see a good many parallels between Zoey and Kate. Not a good sign.
"Besides, Zoey, if you truly believe that Erik was only dating Aphrodite because of her looks, then why do you want to be with him? Why would you want to be with someone that shallow?"
Because he's hot, dur! 8D Seriously, her protests were pretty much to try to make Zoey look non-slutty and humble. And probably for Kristen to wank over how the hot guy prefers her avatar to Aphrodite.
"This really is sexist. Zoey sounds like every Nice Guy who thinks that all girls are only interested in looks, who think that they only want to date bad boys, and who are utterly and shamefully clueless when it comes to sexual assault. 'Huh? But I thought she wanted it.'"
It really does. We're supposed to believe that Zoey is the Nice Girl who the hot guy ought to date because going with the hot Mean Girl would make him shallow. It's horrible!

"Poor Erik. He gets no respect in this book."
No he doesn't, the poor guy. :(
