It seems that last week you were ambivalent about the fate of Maggie Walsh (Angels) and Sadie Nelson (The Sweetest Taboo).
Let's see if two YA chick lit heroines can spark a discussion... May I present two seriously cool sixteen year olds; Susannah Simon(Suze) and Isabel (Belle).
Susannah Simon
The books: The Mediator series by Meg Cabot: Love You to Death, High Stakes, Mean Spirits, Young Blood, Grave Doubts and Heaven Sent.
Loves: Her ancient leather jacket, her friends.
Men: Jesse. Very hot and unfortunately dead. Haunts her bedroom.

Isabel ('Belle')
The book: Let's Get Lost by Sarra Manning.
Loves: Not much. Isabel rules school with an iron fist; even her friends are scared of her.
Men: Atticus Smith. Isabel meets Smith at a party. He is lovely and seems to like her, but he's also older, and she lies to him. Lots.
Conclusion: If this was a contest based on covers, Isabel would win hands down, even though Suze has got more of them... Isabel is quite a hard character - she is not particularly likeable for the first part of the book; personally, I wouldn't like to fight her. However, Suze has lots of practice fighting ghosts (they can touch - and therefore hurt - her).
Or do you all think I should grow up and stop reading so much teenage fiction? (Don't answer that).
