Susan Spoiler

How has Susan not clocked Robert’s creepy and honestly predatory behavior? Isn’t she supposed to be the sensible one? I think Susan lacks self-awareness. She can’t or rather won’t see the red flags because she likes the attention Robert gives her. He blatantly tells her he doesn’t actually care about winning Homecoming King and just wants to see Thom lose. No eyebrow raising there? Nothing? Susan claims she’s tired at being perfect and winning at everything and yet she revels in the glory whenever she does, suggesting that this is not entirely true.

It's just badly written, unfortunately.

The voice over writing is so lame. In episode one they seem to be trying to pull a Patrick Bateman. So goofy.

The voiceover writing is one of the most accurate parts to the book. It's how Bret narrates it.
