I agree about incest, love triangles, the memoir one, and the mysterious secret. Love triangles tend to just create conflict unnecessarily. They also stretch WAY too long.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!tsukikomewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587559717033093542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173314945317698551.post-30128777302844652452013-07-24T21:42:18.652+01:002013-07-24T21:42:18.652+01:00Glad to see you agree with our choices!

It...I totally agree about Anna and the French Kiss. It took me forever to finally pick it up because of the title but boy was I wrong! I think the thing with Stephenie Perkins is that the romance triggers and intense personal development. So in a way, it's not JUST about the romance. <br />Love triangles can be interesting but unfortunately they're a bit overused in YA books. I think at the moment the only love triangle I've enjoyed is Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas.Felihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17722821109728571616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173314945317698551.post-18900494601036857832013-07-23T18:02:54.947+01:002013-07-23T18:02:54.947+01:00Great, funny list.

If it&#...I agree with you about cancer and incest. If it's contemporary YA, I generally want happy! And I really dislike autobiographies. As far as romance, I'm with you. I generally want romance in the book, but I generally don't read pure romance. Although I've been reading some contemporary YA lately that are pretty much focused on the relationship (like Anna and the French Kiss) and I've really enjoyed them. And love triangles are usually just plot devices and pointless, but if it's done well, I like them. ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173314945317698551.post-36038500971640153802013-07-23T14:07:15.357+01:002013-07-23T14:07:15.357+01:00"Special Snowflake Syndrome"!
