Legos, Fingernails, and Brick Walls.

Let's talk about my biggest annoyance with books nowadays. Just because I want to.
Love triangles.
UGH. They're like slamming your head against a brick wall, while stepping on legos and listening to fingernails scrape down a chalkboard.
Painful.
I just... don't understand why people do love triangles. Some books like The Hunger Games, it's acceptable, but still not ideal.
Then there's books like Fallen, where I'm like, "No... a triangle doesn't really work here. But it wasn't completely butchered."
And then... there's books like Delirium/Pandemonium that fits my description above.
I just don't like love triangles. Especially not ones where the author makes you love one guy, and then she's all "LOL! JK! We're gonna introduce a new guy!" -.- Really?!
I just don't think love triangles are all that believable. Half the time they don't work or add anything to the plot. Authors throw them in I guess to have a more diverse range of people. Like, if you didn't like this guy, just wait! There's a complete opposite version of him coming up in thirty pages!
No.
You can't do that.
You can't please everyone. You can, however piss everyone off with your love triangles.
Just don't... I don't enjoy them. Nor do I know anyone who does.
I'm done ranting now. Thanks for listening. Go on with your lives :)
