Can you recommend some 'bad man to good girl fiction' books?

The Kite Runner also has elements of such transformation. Amir, in the story, has committed some unforgivable acts in his childhood due to his cowardice. But as he grows up and faces his past, he tries to make amends and becomes a better person. It shows the journey of a character from a state of moral deficiency to a more redeemed and 'good' state.

There are quite a few 'bad girl fan fiction' pieces in the Twilight fandom. Some fans rewrite the story with a female character who has a 'bad girl' edge, defying the norms of the original story. Also, in the Harry Potter fandom, there are fictions where a new female character is introduced as a 'bad girl', causing chaos in Hogwarts. These fictions add a new and exciting twist to the well - known universes.

One example is 'The Outsiders'. It has elements of a 'bad boy' type of story. The characters from different social classes, some considered 'bad' in society's eyes, have complex relationships. Another is 'Wuthering Heights'. Heathcliff can be seen as a 'bad boy' figure. His love for Catherine is intense and tumultuous.

Sure. 'Gone Girl' can be considered in a way. The female character in it has some rather complex and 'bad girl' - like traits. She manipulates situations to her advantage in a very devious way.

Redemption is a big theme. The bad man often has to face his flaws and try to become a better person because of the good girl. Another theme is love's power. It is usually the love for the good girl that motivates the bad man to change. For example, in 'Beauty and the Beast', the Beast's love for Belle makes him want to be better.

There's also 'Altered Carbon' by Richard K. Morgan. While it has an interesting take on consciousness transfer, the biological aspects of how the human body is treated as more of a disposable shell and the implications for identity and the soul are more in the realm of bad science. It doesn't really conform to what we currently understand about biology and the self.

Yes, 'The First Men in the Moon' by H.G. Wells is also a kind of 'first man' historical fiction. It's about the journey to the moon in a fictionalized early exploration scenario. It's really imaginative and Wells' writing style makes the story engaging.

A really good mountain man historical fiction is 'Jeremiah Johnson'. It is based on the real - life experiences of mountain men. The book shows how they coped with the harsh environment, fought with wild animals and sometimes, with other humans. It also gives insights into their cultural and social aspects, like how they traded and formed communities in the mountains.

In the story 'The Outsiders', Ponyboy is from a group of 'bad boys' in a sense, being a greaser. Cherry is more of a good girl from the Socs side. Their interactions show the contrast between their worlds. Ponyboy has a tough exterior and gets into fights, while Cherry is more refined. Their brief encounters and the understanding that develops between them is an interesting take on the bad boy - good girl dynamic.
