Top Ten Characters I’d NEVER Want To Trade Places With—
It was pretty fun finding ten characters I’d never want to trade places with because honestly, it’s just not worth it. There is so much angst and heartbreaking scenarios in these books that the real world is enough for me, thank you very much.
Anastasia Steele| Fifty Shades of Grey

I don’t like the portrayal of Ana as it’s not a proper depiction of the BDSM community as a whole. The world E L James has created is not one I’d like to live in at all.
Georgia Nicolson| Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging
Georgia Nicolson’s life is one embarrassment after another. It is cringeworthy to the point of intense embarrassment and I for one, want no part of it. Watching the 2008 movie just solidifies my aversion for Georgia’s life.


Lily| Addicted to You

Sex addiction is not glamorous. Krista & Becca Ritchie do a good job of portraying the every day of the struggles of a sex addict.
Emma Thomas| Reason to Breathe

I’m good at being an observer in the life of Emma Thomas. She was dealt a tough hand and she handled it well.
Emmy Clarke| Working It

Kendall Ryan creates a Devil Wears Prada world that I have no desire to be a part of because we’ve watched the movie and we saw how it goes.
Also, when will I ever get to date a male model? That shit doesn’t happen, to me.
Kathleen| Kathleen’s Story

Poor Kathleen. Lurlene McDaniel wrote a pretty depressing story here. I could not take the heartbreak in this story. There’s enough of it in the world around us that I didn’t relish reading what I thought would be happy and heart-warming only for it to turn into a tear-jerker.
Whitney| Whitney, My Love

I recently reread some of Judith McNaught’s books, specifically book #2 of the Westmoreland Saga. Whitney is a strong-willed, free-spirited woman and that does not translate well in 1820 London where women are property more than people. I do not want to go through the violent ups and downs Whitney goes through to get to her HEA—at the hands of the Duke of Claymore no less.
Della Stone| Twisted Perfection

Della’s existence is painful. Then it becomes less painful when she meets Woods, but then she meets Woods’ father and, well, her life goes back to shit.
I would not want to live as Della, we all have enough issues in our own lives, no need to add Della’s to the pile.
Rachel| Something Borrowed

I remember while I was reading this that I would never want to be Rachel. Why surround yourself with such negative people who only want to see you fall?
Nick Dunne| Gone Girl

Poor Nick Dunne, accused of killing his wife. It is traumatizing to be accused of a crime you did not commit.

January 28, 2014 at 15:02I only recognize Anastasia and Georgia from your list although I’ve never read either books. I don’t plan on reading 50 Shades, but yes I would never want someone to control my life whatsoever. If they so much as tried I would probably kick them to the curb. Ahaha I’ve only seen the movie trailer for Angus Thongs, but yes I don’t want to be Georgia either. That existence as a teenager is not on my list of things to experience. Great list and Thank You for stopping by my blog!

January 28, 2014 at 16:17I enjoyed your list. I don’t even think being a teenager was the bad part, Georgia was just an embarrassing person, she wore it like a cloak or a puppy following her around, I wouldn’t want to be her lol
Thanks for reciprocating the comments!

January 28, 2014 at 16:19Ahaha she just seemed very boy crazy from what I could tell from the trailer. I feel like the books would be an entertaining read though lol. But yeah I wouldn’t want to be her either. I think I’d go and dig myself a hole lol.
And you’re welcome :). It’s the least I could do :).

January 28, 2014 at 16:14True, but there is no way I’d want to go through all that, it was terrible. And even after she had Woods there was still problems. That girl had it tough.
Thanks for stopping by!

January 28, 2014 at 00:31Hahaha I died because of Georgia Nicholson. Nope, I’d never ever want to be her. Experiencing second-hand embarrassment was enough. Plus, I got bored a little after she didn’t choose Robbie. Le sigh.
