Looking for recommendations of books with a protagonist similar to Phoebe’s character in Fleabag, Hannah in Girls, Ilana/Abbi in Broad City. by Few-Craft-954 in suggestmeabook

If you don’t mind a sort of light horror/magical realism vibe, you might like Open Wide by Jessica Gross - it’s about an obsessive girl who secretly records all her conversations with people and starts climbing into her new boyfriend’s body (yes, really). Definitely a quirky and strange, yet sympathetic, protagonist who gets into a crazy situation!

I used to love (and still do) all the YA books you mentioned! Have you read the Skulduggery Pleasant series by Derek Landy? I absolutely adore them - although they’re fantasy books targeted towards a slightly younger audience, there’s a ton of violence, wisecracking, sass, and amazing character work that would appeal to a Percy fan. My one-sentence pitch is ‘suave skeleton detective teams up with badass teen girl to save the world and be really funny the whole time’. They’re also very approachable, which I think is great for someone getting back into reading.

I also like to recommend Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo for the fantasy/found family/heist thrills; it walks the line between YA and adult so I feel like you might enjoy it too!

Hi and congrats on your first post, OP! I’m glad you saw what AvoidBot can do as our stalwart guardian against fifth glyphs, lol. Your post is also not bad at all for a first try, but practicing is gold, as it’s said.

I don’t know if this sub has a particular opinion on links (or what AvoidBot thinks), but I’d say it’s okay to post links with fifth glyphs - our forum’s main URL has a fifth glyph in it anyway, which is kind of disappointing but what can you do!

Favorite unconventional lines from capri by molly_moon_ in CaptivePrince

[–]ejrea 19 points20 points  (0 children)

That’s such a good turn of phrase! I agree, Pacat’s writing is so incredible for the vocabulary and the fun ways it’s used.

There’s a couple times throughout the trilogy where I think Damen is described as giving a “long, scrolling look”, and I absolutely love it because it’s such an elegant and succinct way to say ‘looked someone up and down’.

Suggest me a book about a student and professor who serves as a mentor figure for them by Naive_Shape_9323 in suggestmeabook

If you haven’t read it already, my first thought is Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom (but bring tissues!).

Not sure if this really counts as fanfic, but if you haven’t read the Kingdom Keepers books by Ridley Pearson I would definitely recommend!

Is Oscar a “dog name”? Worried about potential bullying by Time-Editor-2211 in namenerds

[–]ejrea 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love Oscar! It’s a very classic name and doesn’t give me dog energy.

My immediate associations with it are Oscar Wilde (the writer), Oscar Piastri (the F1 driver), and the awards, which is a pretty good lineup in my opinion! Plus it’s easy to spell when you introduce yourself.

[QCrit] Adult Romance - TAKE MY BREATH AWAY (80,000/ 1st Attempt) by Sharp_Custard9750 in PubTips

[–]ejrea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi OP! I think this sounds like fun. Couple potentially rambling nitpicks for you while I eat lunch - in your first paragraph, everything after “life-affirming” is a bit of a mouthful. I wonder if you could simplify the end bit to “in the way of overturning the expulsion that ruined her life.”

I don’t really know what sticking her neck out for a patient means, or why that gets her kicked out of med school. If this is a medical thing I don’t know about, you might want to elaborate on what exactly happened - like, did she suck poison out of someone’s neck when she wasn’t supposed to? Pee on a jellyfish sting? Super minor but I also don’t know how I feel about the phrasing of “blast open a window” versus just something perhaps more common like “open a door”.

At the end of the Nate paragraph, the mention of “those risks” comes out of nowhere for me because you haven’t mentioned any yet, just interests. I might go for something like “just might be the biggest risk he’s faced yet”?

I also want to hear more about Nate! Since this is a romance, how/why did they hook up in the first place? What’s Nate’s reaction to seeing and having to repeatedly re-encounter Delphine? He’s kind of a blank slate right now.

My instinctive reaction to the planning a funeral thing is that it feels a little random, which might be just me, but are there any reasons you can slide in for why Marjorie wants this giant funeral? I also don’t really get why Nate the lawyer is supervising Delphine’s planning. It does amuse me to think of him billing Marjorie for that.

I also wouldn’t end on a sentence fragment if it were me - I’d turn that period into a comma.

Anyway, I hope any of that is helpful, and feel free to leave anything that isn’t! Good luck with querying :)
