(4) YA Illustrated by Linnea Gear. Broody McHottiepants, the amalgam of YA male leads behind the @broodingYAhero parody Twitter account, explains how to be a dazzling, mysterious, center-of-attention character. An intentionally thin plot is composed of occasional "narrative interludes" featuring "evil ex-girlfriend" Blondie DeMeani. The cartoonishly illustrated book is funny and perceptive about YA tropes but has to stretch to find enough material.
