Triangle Rant

     Ok what is going on with the romance in Young Adult books! It seems that every time I pick up a book there is a love triangle involved. Why? Do they think that everyone is a fan of this, because I'm not! I hate love triangles, they seem so unreal. Yes, I know, they probably happen to people, but personally I've never seen this except on TV and in books.     I hate reading about love triangles in books, they ruin the story for me. I just can't get into it, I hated reading one in Twilight, it almost ruined the entire series for me. Why do authors put these girls into these situations? Its hard for them and me. Its almost an entire genre in its self. There's mystery, romance, paranormal, and now love triangle. So many books that I started reading were so good but eventually got ruined by a "lovely" love triangle. I wish that some of these authors would warn you ahead of time, something like "Warning: This book contains a love triangle, read at your own peril" on the cover of their books.
    Love triangles play with your feelings and I do not like that. I hate it when the book starts of with the two main characters, and your like "aww they sound so cute together, they totally belong together, and I can't wait till they get together", but soon the author introduces a new character and the heroine is like "Omg, I feel something for this guy, why, and I think I should be with him". When this happens I'm screaming in my head "No, you idiot, you don't feel anything for this guy, your just making drama, go back to the guy that's perfect for you". It totally ruins the book, like the book Enclave by Ann Aquirre, it was so good until she added another love interest for Deuce. And I had such high hopes for it, but now I don't think I'll read the next book.
     Why is it always one girl and two guys? With that couple the reader is thinking "aww, she has a tough choice between two great guys" but what about one guy and two girls? If that were to happen, I bet the reader would totally love to chew out the guy, because then he would be a player. Its a total double standard which isn't fair, because really, the girl with two guys is a player. Ugh can we just stop with the love triangles! Its not fair to anyone and it ruins everything. So writers, please stop writing them or give me fair warning about whats to happen. I hate investing my time and feelings into a book, only to get gypped and hurt.
     Sorry for the long rant, but ugh! I just hate, hate, hate, the triangle which seems like the main theme in Young Adult books. It just needs to stop because its not entertaining its terrible and I'm waiting for the day when they stop.
