Perfect topic for Valentines Day right? There are lots, I means LOTS of love triangles appearing in books these days. It’s like authors think romance isn’t good unless it goes in three directions. So not true! I’m actually getting sick and tired of love triangles. Sure if done right they add romantic tension, add interest, and have you actually putting a personal stake in the book. They can be absolutely great too. But unfortunately they're usually not. A lot of the times they’re just useless, boring, annoying, gross, and you feel like shaking the stupid character who can’t make up their minds. Or the stupid authors who wrote them that way. Indecision is uncool. Angst, denial, dark pasts, forbidden love, fighting between the two characters without a third character, that really makes me more interested and adds excitement. Like, “When will they finally get together?? I NEED to know! They’re perfect for eachother!” It’s usually why I think a lot of the time the first book in a series is great, we get to see two soulmates overcome something and fall in love. Then in the next book (because the author doesn’t know how to continue properly) they add a love triangle just to add plotline. Bleh. A plea to authors out there, less love triangles and more love!
