Being a Goodreads obsessive (I love reading reviews) and also having read a lot of blog posts on the matter, this is something that comes up again and again - boy MCs can be cynical, sarcastic, violent, grumpy, and it seems to be totally okay (especially if they are omgz so troubled from their dark past) - but girl MCs don't get this privilege.
They're allowed to have 'faults' so long as these are cutesy or socially agreeable, such as clumsiness or sarcasm (they're DEFINTELY not allowed to sleep around ) but they're not allowed to be 'unlikeable' (Courtney Summers discussed this).
What's your opinion on this?
