Most Likely to Become a Rock Star Elise from This Song Will Save Your Life 
Well, she kind of already is a superstar DJ so maybe this is cheating but still...

Most Likely to Start a Riot  Maise from Unteachable
If there was ever a follow up, I'm sure we'd find Maise and her relentless quest to live life to the fullest  would probably be causing some trouble in her new town. 

Biggest Flirt Luke from The Moon and More and Lucy from The Lucy Variations
Luke was one of those genial people who do not always know they're flirting, which often gets them into trouble. On the other hand, Lucy knew what she was doing but she craved attention. 
  
Fashion King and Queen  Toby and his bow ties from The Beginning of Everything and Lillia from Fire with Fire  
I love the name Toby so perhaps I'm a little biased. Plus he got the hipster nod of approval at the silent disco flash mob, which seals the deal for sure. Princess Lillia and her preppy cool wardrobe is by far and away the most stylish lady. 
  
Girl You'd Most Want For Your BFF Kat from Perfect Scoundrels
The teenage, female version of Danny Ocean? Of course she'd be my BFF. 
  
Boy You Wish You'd Dated in High School Ezra Faulkner from The Beginning of Everything
Prince charming, prince charming, ridicule is nothing to be scared of...Definitely one of the most charming and witty male characters I've read this year. 
  
Most Likely to Become President Celeste from Flat-Out Matt
Celeste 'I do not use contractions' Watkins could have also stolen the title of 'Quirkiest Character', however I think this title is most befitting such a formidable supporting character. 
  
Villain You Love to Hate Rennie from Fire with Fire
Rennie's not really a villain - just a little misunderstood with a lot of misplaced anger. 

Favourite Parental Figure Arthur from Fangirl
I couldn't help but picture Matthew Perry as the twins' dad in Fangirl and it helped add even more zing to Arthur's one liners. 

Coolest Nerd Cather from Fangirl
Cather is obsessed with Simon Snow and writing her Simon Snow fan fiction. I don't think I came across another character as nerdy or cool as Cather this year.

    3. I chose Elise as Rock Star, too, so I say totally not cheating!

    4. You've just reminded me that I completely forgot to read my copy of FLAT-OUT MATT! I loved FLAT-OUT LOVE, so I really should get on that. And I kind of forgot about Cath for Coolest Nerd. I *did* choose her (and roomie, Reagan) for Quirkiest Character. :-)

      1. Flat-Out Matt is brilliant - Matt is such a sweet character. I agree, I think Cath is definitely one of the quirkiest characters out there too.

    5. Lots of books I haven't read! I totally agree with Cath being a cool nerd, though. I'd kind of like her as my best friend, too. :)

      1. I wouldn't mind Cath and Wren as my BFF's either! It was difficult to choose just one character per category.

    6. Great choices! I loved Toby and his bow ties too. And this is the second mention I've seen of FLAT-OUT MATT today. Clearly I need to read it!

      1. Flat-Out Love and Flat-Out Matt are true gems. They're what you might expect from a New Adult book going by the original definition.

    7. I chose Matty from F-OM as my high school boyfriend! I love him so much. And I could definitely see Celeste as prez. And quirkiest!

      Unteachable just appeared on my radar a few weeks back. I can't wait to get to it.

      1. Matty is so sweet! As a Friday Night Lights fan I loved that they were called Matt and Julie too! Unteachable is a roller-coaster of a story - I can't make my mind up completely about how I feel about the ending but it was effective.
