Crushed by Eliza Crewe

 If you don’t like Meda Melange, I question your life choices.

In the course of two slap-in-your-face-good books, Meda has managed to claw her way to the top of my Favorite YA heroines list. She’s tough as nails, hilarious, and not afraid to kill when she has to – and I am completely in love with her. She has ripped a little hole into my heart and crawled inside, and she’s not going to be coming out anytime soon. Not that I want her to.

I love a lot of things about this book. I love its wonderfully refreshing protagonist (duh), I love the very real, very complex friendship between Meda and Jo (and how their issues weren’t trivial). I love how this book took insta-love, love-triangles, and heroines who did stupid things for stupid boys, gave them all the middle finger, and sent them hurtling in the other direction.
