A while ago I made a list of books with unlikable characters that I liked (link here), and realised that there is a lot of books with characters that I actually really dislike! So here's a list of only a few of my least favourite characters in YA! EVA WALKERZenn Diagram - Wendy Brant I wrote a whole review about this book which included all the problematic things about it (link here), but it boils down to the fact that Eva is a typical "outcast" who is interested in COOL things like MATHS and SCHOOL instead of DUMB and GIRLY things like BOYS and MAKEUP!! I hate these kind of characters that are so obsessed with not being like other girls, as if there's something wrong with other girls! Being interested in boys and makeup does not mean you can't also be smart and interested in other things! Plus, Eva takes every chance she can get to slut-shame all the girls around her, including her 3-year-old sisters which is gross. JOHN SMITHThe Lorien Legacies - Pittacus Lore Overall, I liked John, but near the end of the series he got super annoying. He kept trying to save the world on his own, and believing that he was somehow more powerful than everyone else put together. Seriously boy, get your ego in check. He ended up constantly putting himself in danger because he thought he could handle everything himself, and having to be saved by the rest of the group because he clearly could not handle everything by himself. ?Kill the Boy Band - Goldy Moldavsky The unnamed main character of Kill the Boy Band is seriously lacking in the logical reasoning department. If your friends drag an unconscious person into your hotel room, whether it's a member of your favourite band or not, YOU CALL THE POLICE. When he dies in your freaking hotel room, YOU CALL THE POLICE EVEN HARDER. My god, girl, get it together. JOHN THOMAS-SMITHThe Fashion Committee - Susan Juby I started out liking John, and I kept trying to keep liking him, but he made it very hard for me and eventually I gave up. He did some very noble things like trying to help out a little girl by getting her cool clothes, but he also did some very un-noble things which I cannot get into without spoiling some of the book. If you've read this, you'll know what I'm talking about. EDEN MUNRODid I Mention I Love You (#1) - Estelle Maskame Another main character seriously lacking in the logical reasoning department. Eden kept chasing after her STEPBROTHER Tyler, even though he is clearly extremely troubled. She also keeps going to these wild parties, staying out all night, and doing all this without informing her father or stepmom, WITHOUT ANY REASON! She could have saved these people so much worry if she'd just told them where she was going! I almost made myself angry while writing this, that's how passionate I am about how annoying these characters are! Do you agree with me? Let me know!
