Like I’ve always said: She’s a teenager... also there’s no way she knows what the outcome was when she did all those “stupid” stuff. Maturity is a part of character development and Tess still have a long way to go compared to Arthur.
Well... I think though it is true she made a stupid decision, what happened would’ve happened anyways with or without her doing it. Honestly even though there is correlation between the two there is a lot more plot involved between what happened afterwards so, there really is no reason to blame her for what happened... especially since she is still a teenager and though it may seem stupid as a reader, she doesn’t know what we do and she is not Arthur, who has an adult brain and thinks logically. As a novel reader she is honestly a great character, and I don’t think the hate towards her is justified. Again the part which I think you’re talking about should have the blame on an entirely different set of characters :)
Sorry i mean to downvote
