Most Envy-Inducing Plot/Plot I Wish I'd Thought Of Myself Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Actually, if this was open to adult fiction too, I would've picked Attachments. However, Fangirl is built on a really cool idea too. 

Most Formidable World/The Setting I Definitely Would NOT Want to Visit The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey

I shudder just thinking about it. Like I said the other day, I don't read too many sci-fi/dystopian books but this world was pretty scary and awful. 

Wanderlust-Inducing This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E.Smith

Well, Wanderlust (Belize), Raw Blue (Australia), and Crazy Rich Asians (Singapore/Hong Kong/China) do not qualify for the blogfest and they're my true most Wanderlust inducing novels read in 2013. I didn't get to go on a summer holiday this year *sniff* so, from the YA books released this year, I think I'd choose the seaside, Maine setting of This Is What Happy Looks Like for my fictional jaunt. I'd like to just rent a house by the sea and read and play board games. Sorry, I've been re-watching too much Dawson's Creek... Oh, I should mention Where The Stars Still Shine too. Next time I go to Florida (hopefully next year), I'd like to visit Tarpon Springs. 

  

Loveliest Prose  This Song Will Save Your Life by Leila Sales

There were some lovely quotes about what music does to you, how it feels to hear your song when you're out, the power of the DJ, and loneliness too. This book was really well written. 

  

Most Dynamic Main Character Maise from Unteachable

A fiery force to be reckoned with. I didn't love the book but Maise's character scorched every page. 

  

Most Jaw-Dropping Ending Allegiant by Veronica Roth

Well, you all know why...I'm sure I'm not the only one

  

Best Performance in a Supporting Role Celeste from Flat-Out Matt by Jessica Park 

I love this character so much. I hope Jessica Park releases a companion novel just about Celeste - she obviously loves Celeste too.
