* ClicheStorm: The plot can be summarized as follows: " A [[BeautyEqualsGoodness beautiful]], [[IncorruptiblePurePureness virtuous]] [[PluckyGirl young girl]] becomes TheChosenOne, finds love with [[NerdsAreSexy an intense, manly physicist]], is rejected by everyone, but can't be killed, and saves the world multiple times." Oddly enough, Boutin was trying to avert this. One of the book's main selling points on the website is that it's not like other novels. He also explains that the action doesn't begin until the fourth chapter because it would be cliché to put a flashy, exciting event (read: the hook) on the first page.

* Delusion Conclusion: Some readers have suggested that the whole book is actually the delusions of a paranoid-schizophrenic Theresa, backing this up by pointing out that she herself mentions having a schizophrenic relative, and people with schizophrenic blood relatives are far more likely to develop schizophrenia than the general populace.

* OvershadowedByControversy: Discussions of this book will almost inevitably heavily involve the real-life antics of its author, Norman Boutin, particularly the online drama he was/is involved in. Norman is fairly infamous amongst reviewers and websites that mention the book for responding to criticism of the book in a variety of hostile ways (quoting the Bible, outright attacking the character of critics, dismissing their reviews and them as people, or just straight quoting his own characters as if it is a TakeThat moment to his detractors).

* UnintentionallySympathetic: The lawyer hired to face Theresa in court. She was just doing her job, but that doesn't stop Theresa from [[DisproportionateRetribution cursing her so that any motor vehicle she stepped into would be unable to run.]] And yes, the possibility of an emergency is brought up and dismissed, with Theresa implying she'd use violence if she tried to trick her that way. And as far as the story tells, the curse was never lifted.

Added DiffLines:

* FourthWallMyopia: Practically an aversion - Theresa appears to display strange knowledge of things without cluing into the reader ''how'' or ''why'' she knows them.
