Chick Lit Heroine Grudge Match: Tilda Goodnight v Sophie Dempsey

Stephanie Plum won the last grudge match – it seems Becky Bloomwood's love life wasn’t a match for the woman who has Ranger and Joe Morelli

Today we’ve got two Jennifer Crusie heroine’s battling it out in the ring. Connected by Davey Dempsey, both ladies are trying to hold their kooky families together, but which one has got what it takes to win the chick lit heroine grudge match?

  • Michele

    Tilda wins hands down in my eyes.

  • Excellent, that&#39s two for Tilda (possibly the kookiest chick lit heroine ever)

  • Lyssa C

    Oh, its Tilda hands down. Sophie is great but she is mostly along for the ride. Tilda finds her very own trouble.

  • Phyllis

    Tilda all the way. I love Sophie, but Tilda is just amazing!
