Managed to lock myself out for and a half. In sandals, and no armwarmers or collar or even my pendants. So i want for a ride, considered a movie, decided a against sa I couldn't let my bike outof my sight. Went and bought me some 2nd-hand books. So before I go and take me my 4-hour nap, I have a question for you all:

What was the last book you read with a prominent female character you could actully stand and even identify with? Elaborate, please.

Good pika night. ^_^

"Vicky Angel" by Jacqueline Wilson, a YA novel. (The last book I read; I finished it a couple of hours ago.) It basically concerned two teenage girls, best friends, one of whom died after being run over. It was the story of how the other - the narrator - got by afterwards. She was given the opportunity to make new friends, but the other girl hung around with her, as a ghost, always hovering in the way of her efforts. The ghost had always been the dominant one of the two, who always had her say, and this continued after her death. She got more and more bossy, making the narrator more and more miserable. Eventually, though, the narrator learned to not pay any attention to the ghost, and came to terms with what had happened. I liked the narrator, because she was completely trapped, unable to tell anyone about the ghost, and took the path of least resistance at first, but eventually started standing up for herself and doing what she wanted.
