Date: 2011-03-21 11:23 pm (UTC)Also what do you think of books where girls have mysterious, unknowable manic pixie dream girl friends who they mebbe have a bit of a never really clarified whether this is sexual crush on (example, 'Who Will Run the Frog Hospital' by Lorrie Moore, but I imagine YA books like 'Beautiful' by Amy Reed which I want to read so soon are similar)? I am totally in love with those kind of books where the mysterious, glamorous, darkly synical girl sweeps into town and regular girl A is entranced but then probably either betrayed by, or betrays pixie dream girl friend, but I'm not sure that they don't have similar flaws to books that place the manic pixie dream girls across from romantic boys.
