it all really depends. Some books I hate that there is a love triangle and it's dumb and unnecessary, making the characters seem like idiots in my eyes.

However sometimes when it's just that one guy and girl, in particular books I would LOVE and I mean LOVE to see the guy in part of a love triangle or at least another guy who likes the same girl just to make things interesting. It's cute when the guy gets a little jealous(sometimes)

I agree with Annalisia, except also i hate sometimes when you really like one guy but the girl chooses the other guy and you feel bad for him haha for example Destined from the Wings series. I liked the whole series but the very last chapter was so sad.

exactly! i wish he would have wound up with Chelsea. but it was still a good series

Yeah! I agree with Alyssa, it's SUPER cute when guys get jealous (Ian and Jared from the Host, for example?) :D

Love triangles tend to drive me crazy (usually because the guy the heroine doesn't end up with is the guy I really like).

It depends if it is a device that lends itself to the characters' development or if it's just there because that's what the author thinks the audience wants. The choice should never be obvious, like the author has a clear bias. Then its sort pointless for it to be written in.

I'm usually against love triangles like in Twilight I mean I love the book but I think the love triangle gets annoying but in some books I really like how the author adds a love triangle to the story

I really don't like them because even if it is done right, I like it when the the love is developed through the whole story without another person causing a lot of problems (but I do agree a little jealously is fun to read about).

I'm not a fan of love triangles. They never add anything to the story itself. The characters just get really annoying. Plus I'm always on the losing the side.

I find love triangles generally add interest for me. In some cases, like "Twilight" or "Hush, Hush" I thought them unnecessary and annoying. In "The Infernal Devices," however, I thought the conflict added another element to the story.
