Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by wonderful bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish.
Today's list is a compilation of our favorite book heroines (not the drug).
Over the last couple of years, the YA genre has really stepped up its game and gotten some seriously kick-butt female characters. Obviously, there are too many to include in this list, but we will try.
The characters on this list are extremely brave, intelligent, sarcastic, and just overwhelmingly kick-butt. Some of them might show it in different ways, but they all faced intense danger and loss, but they rose above it to become the characters that we love.
