Well Said: Chauvinistic


"And that insulting, chauvinistic order he'd give her to say on the school grounds? What was this, the nineteenth century? It crossed her mind that maybe Daniel had spoken to her like that centuries ago, but - like Jane Eyre and Elizabeth Bennet - Luce was certain no former self of hers would ever have been cool with that. And she certainly wasn't now." ~ Torment by Lauren Kate
I love this passage. It really sets the defiance that permeates this story.

    OMG, I could NOT STAND Daniel in this book! He was the biggest chauvinistic, bossy jerk ever! Haha-- well, I hope you are enjoying Torment. I have a a long-standing love-hate relationship with the Fallen series-- if you want, feel free to check out my reviews on them, but probably wait until you're done reading them since there are a few spoilers (difficult sometimes not to with a series!)

    Enjoy the rest of Torment (Note: I thought Passion was better ;)

    You can see my TT for this week at the link below!

  14. Very interesting!! I read the first one and wow was he a chauvinist. Since there was a lot of backlash about that, i wonder if the author purposely made a big deal of her standing up to him in the second one. HMMMM maybe i should give the second one a try??

    ReplyDelete

  15. GO LUCE!!! Don't let him tell you what to do:) I'm liking the sound of Luce in this one, she wasn't quite as take-charge in Fallen, so I like that she's making progress!

    ReplyDelete

  16. Ha! What a great way of saying f*ck off, you chauvinist pig!

    ReplyDelete

  31. Definite points for the Austen reference, I'll give it that. ;P

    ReplyDelete

  32. Great teaser and very intriguing cover too!

    ReplyDelete

  33. How are you beautiful? I hope the move went well! Take care!!

    ReplyDelete

  34. Wonder what ticked her off but go Luce!

    ReplyDelete

  35. This reminds me of that bumper sticker regarding women who make history but darn, I cannot think of it now. Basically, defiance, at times, is necessary, I believe.

    ReplyDelete

  36. I love it too! She really has her dander up!

    ReplyDelete

  37. Ah, I have to find out more about this book!

    ReplyDelete

  38. Ok great quote...but shhh dont tell anyone, I didnt really like this book..:(

    ReplyDelete

  39. Ha! I like it. Sounds like she's up in arms - boys (and men) can be so silly!

    ReplyDelete

  40. That is a fabulous quote. I really should read this series even if it only so I can admire the gorgeous covers in person.

    ReplyDelete

  41. she sounds like she has a backbone. i thought she was another bella.

    ReplyDelete

  43. Great teaser! Though Torment wasn't my favorite book, I still enjoyed it. Look forward to what you think!

    ReplyDelete

  44. Agreed! I keep hearing such great things about this series...really must partake in it one day. Great tease!

    ReplyDelete

  45. Great quote Juju! I definitely remember this one from when I read it, I love that she's not swooning all over an attractive guy when he's telling her something like this. Go Luce!

    ReplyDelete

  47. I swear you are great about picking lines.

    ReplyDelete

  48. Hi Juju,

    Nice to have you back! I love your Teaser Tuesdays. This book is on my to-read shelf. You made me seriously curious now!
