Maybe some of you actually know of good titles in this type. Girl in question is 12, but is more into stuff for somewhat older girls, so I would not recommend her very safe, kid stuff, as that will not interest her. Also, no faggotry please, the world is pushing that shit on all of us all the time, so it's best to not open another venue for it. Needs to be available in English, and the more obscure stuff I might not be able to get for her, I assume it is at least somewhat limited what books I can get here.
She is also into horror movies, if that helps.
Thank you to any of you fine gentlemen for any recommendations.
what is fiction if not unrealistic?
I hate to break it to you, but you will not be a great hero if you join the military like Luke Skywalker was. if you take up boxing, you will not become a celebrity hero like Rocky did. if you choose to fight crime, you will not become a folk hero like Zorro or Batman. for all intents and purposes, we are alone in the universe, but if an incredibly powerful alien lives on earth, they will more likely be like Omni-Man than they will be like Superman. even the best detectives in the world will never even come close to Sherlock Holmes's ability to solve crimes.
fiction in any genre is unrealistic, even if it gives us ideals to strive towards. romance is no different.
The thing is hopefully boys outgrow capeshit (less and less into it nowadays, inarguably good) and become men. Modern women however rarely if ever move on. Remember all the single moms north of 30 who were Twilight fans?
