Tbh I prefer the princess over tess

Same. I would’ve even been happy with Jasmine. But we all know what happens in the novel for Tess and her selfishness and for Art to lose all reason because of it.

I am a girl too but I like Tess.. she for God shake is 17 and more mature than any of us.. yeah she is spoiled but she was a princess with everything and everyone pampering her. Tess is the only one that Art will sacrifice everything because he really loves and cares for her. He said himself that around her he let himself to feel like a teenager and he probably have always loved her but was hard to accept because of his mental age. And Art is not someone that will take his promise so lightly, it was hard on him accepting his feelings for her I can't see him doing the same with another girl. And what that will tell us about his character if he so easy let go of his promise to creat a family with her.. Let alone that if Silvy comes back she will not accept anyone else as her momma, she adores Tess. I don't know why people hate on Tess so much she has been through alot and her character is written for Arthur development. Yeah he lost his core but that will give us to see more of him and his new potential..

Kathlyn is my less favorite between Tess, Caera and her..

Again tho that is just my opinion..

Your opinion is super valid! I totally agree on your points of the Tess we currently are reading about. Since Tess is a princess, she acts spoiled and whatnot. Some people really do hate her without reason but I don't.

This isn't hate on Tess but more on the way she is written. Tess could be a great love interest if only the author knew how to write girls well, especially the challenges and realisations Tess goes through as per the novel. After all she goes through in the novel, despite it really life-changing, the author still writes her to be this damsel in distress.

Tess is strong but after going through all that, she is still written all the same. The author didn't try to match Tess' experiences to Tess as a character in terms of personality.

The princess (black haired girl) did change though and was written better than Tess. I didn't mean to hate on Tess herself.

Anyways, you made really good points! I didn't take into account that Tess is a princess too and that might affect her personality. No hate or anything (⌒▽⌒)

I don't know princess character is not my think. Yeah she has development but doesn't much with Art's personally let alone that Art see her as a child. He never considered any of them as love interest..

Caera is strong and I like her vibe but the way Art treats her is like a partner he doesn't get worry for her fighting with him (but he didn't want Tess to get involved) don't forget how he lost it when Tess almost got raped by Lucas.

And if the author make Tess to Cecile and not loving anymore Art I will drop that story.

If Art choose any of the other girls after his confession I will be disappointed and it will make him look like everything he did till now was a joke..

I am all about no romance but from the moment they introduced as a fl then I can't see how to accept his change of heart so easily.. if that confession had never take part then yeah I will have been all about shipping him with multiple characters..
