Okay. So I do understand other readers perspectives and why they have a growing dislike for Teddy, especially because Ryder is so awesome. But I think we have to take the hints we were given and keep in mind that even though he comes off as a strong, popular kid. Everybody has their demons. You build walls and take measures to protect yourself, it takes time to realize when you don't need those walls anymore and even longer to take them down because you put so much work into making those barriers and creating a reality for yourself. I think it's great that we're getting a view into two different personalities and two different self maintenance mechanisms that they've both developed to feel more secure in themselves. I love the fact that we are seeing the struggles they both face and it's not a quick fix happy ending, instead we see how much effort and work they are putting in on themselves and each other just so that they can be together because their both broken.
