One example could be 'Gossip Girl'. It features wealthy and glamorous 'it girls' in New York, full of drama, scandal, and the high - society life that makes it quite notorious in the genre.
Another one is 'The A - List' series. It's set in Hollywood among young starlets - type characters. The girls in these books are always in the spotlight, dealing with love, fame, and envy. The series is notorious for its portrayal of the cut - throat world of young Hollywood and the glamorous but often catty 'it girl' lifestyle.
The 'Clique' series is also a good one. It focuses on a group of popular girls in a clique at a private school. There are power struggles, fashion obsessions, and all sorts of antics that have made this series well - known among those interested in 'it girl' - type stories. These novels often show the not - so - nice side of being in the in - crowd, which adds to their 'notorious' nature.
One of the notorious novels is 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov. It was considered controversial due to its subject matter which involves an older man's infatuation with a young girl. However, it is also a work of great literary merit, with Nabokov's masterful use of language and complex exploration of themes like obsession, love, and the nature of morality.
One example could be 'The Witch of Blackbird Pond' by Elizabeth George Speare. It features a female character who is wrongly suspected of being a witch in a Puritan community. Another is 'The Witching Hour' by Anne Rice which has complex female characters with some elements related to witchcraft.
The characters in these novels tend to be complex. They may seem perfect on the outside with their designer clothes and perfect hair, but on the inside, they're often dealing with insecurities. The novels also tend to be fast - paced, with new scandals and events popping up constantly. This keeps the readers hooked as they want to know what will happen next in the chaotic lives of these 'it girls'. There's usually a lot of name - dropping of luxury brands too, which adds to the overall glamorous and somewhat notorious feel of the story.
Sure. 'The Masquerading Maiden' is quite similar. It has a young woman who pretends to be a man for various reasons and falls in love during her charade. The story is full of humor and heartwarming moments.
The 'Shopaholic' series by Sophie Kinsella can also be considered as it girl novels in a way. The main character, Becky, is always chasing the latest trends and getting into various fashionable and sometimes comical situations. Another good one is 'The Devil Wears Prada' by Lauren Weisberger. It gives an inside look at the world of high - fashion through the eyes of a young woman working for a powerful and demanding fashion editor.

The special thing about the 'it girl books' could be their unique perspective on female characters. They might show strong, independent 'it girls' who are not afraid to break the rules and make their own way in the world.
One example could be 'The Catcher in the Rye'. Holden Caulfield, the protagonist, has a certain 'it' factor in his non - conformist and rebellious ways that made the book quite infamous at times. It was controversial for its language and the attitude of the main character, yet it became a classic.
