Dude, I briefly indoctrinated myself in high school with this shit. I feel like there were some good characters, but people’s sexual purity is so much more focused on and obviously it’s propaganda.

I was a bookworm that grew up in a really conservative family. I loved these books and read through every one by the time I was 14. My pullover pocket had a weird square stretch because I had to carry the one I was reading and the next one due to all of them ending on stupid cliff hangers. Looking back I can see why I liked them, but now I would probably drop it after 1 book if I was feeling especially patient.
