I'd also imagine the Mormon faith wouldn't be keen on an actual vampire romance. I wish she'd made her characters - at least some of them, be part of the Mormon faith so there could be a clear explanation for why they behave the way they do. Trying to portray it like this is just how teenagers act is not ideal because while teenagers don't all behave the same way at all it's weird to have a group of teenagers being so Mormon without the religion being a part of their lives.
Oh the indigenous stuff is also problematic. It's been a long time since I've read the books and I think I'd read them with far different eyes if I tried now. -
I do hope the person who was cruel to you learned some more empathy and would behave differently in a similar situation today. More than that I hope you know that wasn't your fault. You were mislead and because you weren't a person with that kind of cruelty in them you didn't see the double cross coming.
