Entertainment Editor (1988 KP) shared own list

Nov 29, 2017
It didn't take any extra effort to produce a top 10 list in which every series has at least one strong female lead character, powerfully examined in detail. But in a year like 2017, these characters, and the roles they played, felt more vital than ever.

From Big Little Lies to Insecure, just a few with strong female protagonists:

This was a great book. I love reading books with strong female characters who take charge of their lives. I very much enjoyed reading it and I would recommend it.

A movie I'd been waiting for FOREVER
This is one of the best movies I've ever scene. Strongest of the strong female leads. There are dozens of brilliant side female characters who were also amazing and the lack of male gaze really won the day.

Slow start but strong finish
This book will make you cry, so keep the tissues handy. The first few chapters are very dull, but once it picks up, you can’t put it down! I fell in love when this book!

The characters are great (0 more)
It was a very simple story full of a long line of strong female characters. As I was reading I was literally building the "family tree" in my head. All the back stories help keep these strong family ties and traditions at the forefront of the story. I really thought I was going to hate this book, but it was the complete opposite.

Individual characters and strong female lead! (0 more)
Amazing first book in the series!
The guys are all so individual and amazing. Completely different from any characters in any other book I've read. Laurel has created this fabulous alternate reality that I could only wish to be a part of. Carlyle is this beautiful strong female lead and you can really tell Laurel loves her character as you read the story. This book sets the tone for the whole series and if you've read the other books, you will know she just keeps up the standard the whole way through.

Really fantastic series that is filled with action and humour. Love the strong female lead who isn't afraid to fight dirty or stand up for herself. This is one of those series where no one is safe, don't get too attached to certain characters!

I usually don’t read novels like this, and this book reminded me of exactly why! The male lead was so alpha male that it was obnoxious and insulting to me as a female. The female lead was just as frustrating, but maybe that’s because she’s the stereotypical “strong” female lead. Both characters were so frustrating and cliché that I almost couldn’t finish the book. Despite this, I actually enjoyed the story itself. Even though her characters made me want to pull my hair out, the author knows how to tell a story.
