Okay, now that all the logistics are out of the way...let's go ahead and discuss popularity plus high school/teenagers. They kinda go hand in hand, right?? The YA novels in 2011 definitely gave us characters who fit into the standard superlative categories for popularity--and we're gonna prove it!
Alright, enough talking, let's get right into the Popularity Contest!
Class Clown:
David Gershwin in How I Stole Johnny Depp's Alien Girlfriend by Gary Ghislain
*Dry and witty--and so likable. We'd sit next to him in every class!*
Most Likely to Become a Rock Star:
Mandarin in Like Mandarin by Kirsten Hubbard
*She goes by her own rules.*
Mostly Likely to Start a Riot:
Puck in The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa
*He'd be the most amused by it.*
Biggest Flirt:
Chloe in Shut Out by Kody Keplinger
*And she doesn't even apologize for it!*
Fashion King and/or Queen:
Lola in Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
*She wants to be a fashion designer-duh!*
Girl You’d Most Want For Your BFF:
Tie between Gretchen in Sweetly by Jackson Pearce and Isabelle Lightwood in City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare.
*Gretchen is strong & faithful to friends & family/ Isabelle kicks a** and she'd stick up for Pam in a fight*
Boy You Wish You’d Dated in High School:
Tie between Cole in Forever by Maggie Stiefvater, and Cricket in Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins.
*Cole is the epitome of rock star sexy--he just has swag/Cricket is nerdy & sensitive...and just awesome!*
Most Likely to Become President:
Tie Between Meghan Chase in The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa and Aries in Dark Inside by Jeyn Roberts.
*For Meghan--Duh, look at the title of the book!/Aries took control in a dire situation.*
Quirkiest Character:
Lola in Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins.
*How many other girls do you know who want to wear a Marie Antoinette dress to their school dance?*
Villain You Love to Hate:
Nate Gray in Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare.
*Ok, this guy has no redeeming value--he just made a bada** villain.*
Favorite Parental Figure:
Tie between Luke Garroway in City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare and Geoffrey Beck in Forever by Maggie Stiefvater
*Luke loves Clary just like she's his own- awww!/Beck was smooth, intelligent, and did what he had to do for his family.*
Coolest Nerd:
Seth from The Liar Society by Lisa and Laura Roecker
*He does whatever he can for Kate to help her solve the mystery (computer nerdery is involved)...and he was so flipping SWEET!*

I love that you picked Mandarin as rock star--she would be crazy on stage! Great choices.
I love that everyone's list includes characters from Lola. Gets me more excited about reading it!
Yay Seth! I hope he gets a love interest in the sequel...he needs some love. :-)
And Cole and Cricket sandwich? Yes please!
I didn't even read LOLA and I wanted to put her in some of these categories just based on what I've heard of her. Haha.
I still have to read the rest of the Wolves of Mercy Falls books! I also want to read Sweetly and The Liar Society.
Great choices, girls! I loved Seth from THE LIAR SOCIETY too, and Cole! Why didn't I think of Cole when I was contemplating the Character I'd Most Want to Date in HS?!
Love these choices! I love your reason for putting Puck in the Most Likely to Start a Riot category. That's so true!!
This was a great list. I haven't read some of these so I'm adding a bunch to my TBR list. First off: How I Stole Johnny Depp's Alien Girlfriend. That just sounds funny.
I haven't read "Lola" yet, but now I'm dying to get to it.
Points for Cole from forever. Yowza!
Seriously, why have you all already read Clockwork Prince?? It came out like 3 minutes ago.
Great choices, girls.
I NEED to read some of these books so I can have a clue as to what characters you're talking about! LOL. This is a cool way to recap the favorite books read for the year. :)
