She was. And she also went on about how her sister (the one we have never seen once thus far) was such a bitch to refer to the public buses as the school's "yellow limos"
"I have to admit, I love a good forbidden romance, but this is a really self-indulgent one."
That really gets me. I'm also pretty flexible with fictional relationships. I hate to say "I never like [blank]", because it varies. But this is pretty much unbelievable at any level. She hardly knows the guy. She starts going off like this after their FIRST meeting! I could almost (almost, mind you) buy it if they'd hung around a few times before now, giving some basis to this beyond "he's hot". But there isn't anything. And I also wouldn't mind this if it was supposed to be that Zoey was being stupid. Thing is, in a chapter or so she talks to Stevie Rae about it, and Stevie Rae is equally clappy-squee. So either we're supposed to be on board with it or assume that Zoey's friends are just as stupid as she is.
"and the fact that technically it is illegal for a 25 and 16 year old to sleep together!"
It's totally illegal in the state of Arizona as well. I looked it up for a later chapter. The age of consent is, indeed, 18. Even if they didn't have sex, shit would still fly.
"Actually, I don't ever remember any hot teachers during my school years, they were all so much older :P"
I've had a few, though mostly in college. ^_^;;
Aphrodite is way more sympathetic than Zoey, especially with what comes later. Zoey does make a few half-hearted attempts to figure out what's going on with Aphrodite, but it still is sucky.
"But hey, Zoe thinks she's above the rules, so no wonder she feels this way."
She honestly and truly does. That's no exaggeration. Just wait until that chapter I keep alluding too. You'll see her...erm logic
