I have such incredibly mixed feelings on this narrative voice so far. On one hand, I love how catty and full of vitriol Natalie is, but on the other... I really hate when characters who are lacking in self-awareness are written as if they're incredibly AWARE of it. It feels so artificial.

Whether you love to hate or hate to love 'em, these literary bad girls are anything but well-behaved. *Disclaimer: we do not literally support the illegal and oft cruel behavior of these protagonists (usually); we support the authors bold enough to write them (always).
