No BFF: When Heroines Are Nothing Like You (and You Love Them Anyway)

This one is easy for me: MacKayla Lane from Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. Even as I'm astonished watching her transform through the series and can relate to her emotionally, there is no way me and Mac 1.0 (early in the series) would be hanging out. At all.

Chess Putnam from Stacia Kanes "Ghost" series. An addict with serious self esteem issues, but still compelling.

Totally agree with SShelly - Love the series but I cannot identify with her personally.

This isn't a book character but I used to love the character Holly Hunter played on Saving Grace. Grace was completely kick-ass, party hard, sleep around and made no apologies for it -- I completely loved that about her! That being said, she in no way, resembles me.

Blair Mallory, the heroine in Linda Howard's TO DIE FOR and DROP DEAD GORGEOUS, totally cracks me up. She's nothing like me, and I don't know if I'd be able to stand her in real life, but she's fun—and to me, refreshing–to read about. As I'd read about a creature from another planet. Curiously, cautiously and with mounting disbelief. :)

Starbuck! :)

Eve Dallas ... I wouldn't want to be so screwed up or have so many sharp edges, but I love reading the books ...

I find that most of my favorite heroines are unlike me - but if I have to name one, Anita Blake is least like me (and lives a life I simply couldn't cope with).

I love Tess Gerritsen's Maura Isles, but she is the exact opposite of me in almost every way. In the books, she's quiet, she's a scientist, she's reserved, an introvert, and has a long-running affair with a priest. I'm loud, talkative, creative, an extrovert, and am pretty certain if I had an affair with a priest, I'd go to hell. ;)

Brienne of Tarth and Aeryn Sun. And Sarah Connor, whose only point of similarity with me is that she has a son :D
