Brooding YA Hero: Becoming a Main Character (Almost) as Awesome as Me
Brooding YA Hero: Becoming a Main Character (Almost) as Awesome as Me | Carrie Dirisio, Broody McHottiepants
12 posts | 7 read | 15 to read
Have you ever wished you could receive a little guidance from your favorite book boyfriend? Ever dreamed of being the Chosen One in a YA novel? Want to know all the secrets of surviving the dreaded plot twist? Or maybe you're just really confused about what "opal-tinted, luminous cerulean orbs" actually are? Well, popular Twitter personality @broodingYAhero is here to help as he tackles the final frontier in his media dominance: writing a book. Join Broody McHottiepants as he attempts to pen Brooding YA Hero: Becoming a Main Character (Almost) as Awesome as Me, a "self-help" guide (with activities--you always need activities) that lovingly pokes fun at the YA tropes that we roll our eyes at, but secretly love. As his nefarious ex, Blondie DeMeani, attempts to thwart him at every turn, Broody overcomes to detail, among other topics, how to choose your genre, how to keep your love interest engaged (while maintaining lead character status), his secret formula for guaranteed love triangle success, and how to make sure you secure that sequel, all while keeping his hair perfectly coiffed and never breaking a sweat.

I thought this book was okay, a little repetitive but touched on some very important topics that need to be discussed

This book was great! I‘ve been following the Twitter account for awhile, so I️ had high hopes for this book. It didn‘t disappoint. This is one of the first books that actually made me laugh out loud.

Damon Salvatore, my favorite brooding YA hero! He's the epitome and sets the bar for the rest! This book is definitely amusing and makes subtle references to so many, lol.

“No one wants a Broody who just “frowns” or “shrugs.” Make sure to add adverbs to everything you do. Bonus points if your expressions involve your eyebrows. Which would you rather do: “sneeze” or 'wrinkle your handsome Romanesque nose, your chestnut eyebrows leaping in masculine surprise as you dramatically detect the offending scent of pepper invading your beautiful nostrils'.”

ALL THE YA CLICHES. 😂

Very funny book, I love the meta aspect of it!! I specially liked Blondie, really! She's so smart and blunt and I hope she gets a book for herself!

RaimeyGallant Meta is my fav kind of humor. :) 7y

Super self-aware and ironic, as well as being hella cute. If you‘re a YA reader, you‘ll love this, unless you don‘t like sarcasm, in which case you should probably avoid it. ;)

It was a clever, witty read that highlights the often overdone Brooding YA hero. While it was done in Broody's POV his evil ex also pops in for some sound reason.

Along the way you can find some funny quizzes and altogether a new concept for the interior of a book. Inside you'll find a guideline mixed in with a story that Broody is trying to write.

A fun read.

The author sent me a "Broody Swag Pack" including some artwork of the various faces Broody McHottiepants can wear. And the author AND Broody signed my book cover. Totally in love. I'm also halfway through the book and it has made me laugh the whole way through.

ScientistSam It looks like so much fun! 7y

I honestly can't remember a book making me laugh this much, best #bookexpo read so far, my sides hurt from how hard I've laughed. Broody McHottiepants may not be the hero we need, but he is the one we deserve.

rachelm So excited for this one 7y
CatLadyBibliophile Broody is so much fun. I'm so glad I found this one!! 7y

My #BookCon haul is a baby one, but all the more special because almost all of these were picked up for me by friends who knew I'd love them. And they know me SO well. I was busy working and couldn't run around the conference until most of the drops were done, but my friends knew exactly what I'd want and every couple of hours I'd hear "Psst, look what I picked up". Which basically made me cry. Bookworms are the best ?

vicgreentoriafield Nice! Jealous of your Thorns copy! 7y
CatLadyBibliophile @vicgreentoriafield I'm a little heartbroken it's only a sampler, but it's so gorgeous I can't be too mad! I cannot wait for the book. 7y
That-Bookish-Hiker Just a little jealous of your "All the Crooked Saints" copy ?. 7y

vicgreentoriafield @CatLadyBibliophile I passed right by it on the way in this morning not realizing that's where they were giving out the sampler. When I finally saw someone holding it and asked they were all gone. Just have to wait till Sept now! 7y
CatLadyBibliophile @That-Bookish-Hiker I almost tackle hugged my friend when she handed it to me. So freaking excited! 7y
CatLadyBibliophile @vicgreentoriafield Oh nooooo! They were oddly stationed, I never would have found it (seriously I wouldn't have gotten any books if my friends weren't on their A-game). 7y
vicgreentoriafield @CatLadyBibliophile sounds like you have awesome friends 7y
MorganNotMegan Curious about Year One! 7y
