Apostrophes! Epiphanies! A veritable cornucopia of punctuation!
*headdesk* I cannot believe it took me this long to realise this! Lilly Kane is The Basic Eight's Natasha! OMFG, how could it take me this long to realise it???
Let's look at the facts:
1. Both are fabulous
2. Both are precocious in their sexuality
3. Both have friends who would be fabulous if only they weren't overshadowed by their more glamorous, fabulous Lilly/Natasha friend-beast.
4. Both mess it up for said best friend by virtue of their absence*.
If you haven#'t read The Basic Eight, it's a tale of murder, satanism, sexual awakening and cultism... except that it isn't, not even a little bit. It's very fun, at any rate, and it's done by Daniel Handler, he of the Lemony Snicket (A Series of Unfortunate Events) fame. Go check it out.
ETA: I forgot to mention - both are seniors in a West Coast High School that is soon rocked by a shocking murder. And did I mention that they are so fabulous they turn even teachers' heads? Well. They are.
*well, sort of. I'm more inclined to forgive Natasha this than Lilly, to be fair.
