Laugh out loud: In search of witty heroines

You know what I mentioned? Funny heroines. Not the clumsy, tripping-over-nothing, coffee-spilling caricature we often see in rom-coms. I’m talking about legit hilarious heroines. I want dry-witted, sarcastically funny leading ladies who drop zingers and one-liners that have you laughing out loud.

Thing is, while I’m sitting here with my thinking cap on, I can’t think of a single heroine who fits that bill. But I know they’re out there, hiding in the pages of books. So, if you’ve got any recs, spill the beans in the comments. And authors, if you’ve penned a heroine like that, drop the deets.

My one-click finger is itching and ready to buy!

January 2025 update: I found two books that made me laugh out loud while reading them. Jamaal the IT Guy by Kasha Thompson and Curvy Girl Summer by Danielle Allen.

    I'm writing a prequel to Ethan, which takes place seven years before the novel so you can see how Ethan and Skye met. I'll drop a chapter every morning until the release on Friday. Enjoy!
