ha I kinda got another from the first book of a series... its more like a square...
CLary, Simon, Jace, Alec
The City Of Bones
Clarissa Clare

America, Maxon, Aspen, Celeste & Kriss
The Selection
Kiera Cass

Okay so its not a triangle more of a pentagon, lol. This one seems so natural & not forced. Two people who love each other (Max & Mer) but there's so many things trying to pull them apart, including themselves.

How about the famous TID one?

Tessa, WIll, and Jem
The Infernal Devices
Cassandra Clare

The TID love triangle is the best in my opinion, because it's so different from any other love triangle I've read in my life. In the best way. The fact that all three parties love each other is done so beautifully, it never feels like there's a winner and a loser, and it doesn't feel like there should be one.

Day, Tess and June
Marie Lu
Legend

How about Prodigy's?!
It's turning into a square...

June, Day, Anden, and Tess
Marie Lu
Prodigy

I love Anden, I will admit.

Katniss, Peeta, Gale is on top of my list (I really had no idea who she was gonna end up with)!
2nd is Tessa, Will, Jem because even though I haven't read Clockwork Princess, I'm pretty sure Tessa's gonna end up with Will. *no spoilers*
At 3rd come: Lena, Alex, Julian and Percy, Annabeth, Rachel!

My favorite is the one from TID! Best EVER!! If I had to choose a second, I guess I could go with America, Aspen, and Maxon from The Selection...? Max is DEFINITELY my choice here, though ;)

I CAN'T STAND Tess!! As long as she has NO part in the triangle, I could vote for Day, June, and Anden from Legend, too. I LOVE Anden!!

Definitely the one from The Infernal Devices. I mean, in every single love triangle the two sides usually hate each other and see the girl as a prize for the competition. I really liked the fact that this doesn't happen with Will and Jem. The fact that they were both willing to sacrifice their own happiness, so that the other could be happy...And I really like Tessa as the girl in this love triangle, I really like her character, the way she thinks, everything.

I C..."

I was so annoyed when Tess started acting like all flirty and weird with Day. I much preferred their little sister/big brother type of dynamic in Legend to what it was in Prodigy and I wish it hadn't been ruined by Tess getting jealous and bitchy about June and Day.

Either that or America/Maxon/Aspen

Amen!! I didn't mind her in Legend, but I really hated her in Prodigy :( Even if June somehow doesn't end up with Day, I don't want him with Tess!!

Juliette, Adam and Warner from the Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi
I'm team Warner though :)

I love the Anden, June & Day love triangle. I gotta say I'm 100% Team Anden. I really hope he gets the girl even though it might be a long shot :(

Team Warner, Team Anden! Day is a time bomb just waiting to go off. I have a feeling that Lu is going to make him into one of those martyrs who gives up everything for the good of the people...

I also like Warner. Why do the protagonists always pick the obvious choice? It would be nice if 1 of them ends up with guy we least expect her too.

Yeah. It's the best when you really don't know who she's going to choose. That is the sign of a great love triangle.

Like the Hunger games! Right up until that last chapter in Mockingjay I honestly didn't know who she'd end up with. & I swear for a second I thought(somewhere in the middle of the book): Oh no, Peeta is gonna end with this random girl Delly :(

Kami, Jared and Ash
Unspoken (The Lynburn Legacy)
Sarah Rees Brennan
(don't mind me, I'm obsessed with this book)

I absolutely hate love triangles. The only book I liked with an LT was because the conflicted feelings in the protagonist was convincing and felt real. Also the LT was played out well, in my opinion. I tend to avoid books with LT even if they are "must-reads" in the eyes of most of my GR friends.

Omg I hate them too!!! finally someone else who does to!!!

Wow....... that was really negative..............*cough*....... sry to everyone who uh...likes them....and.....yeah...see ya later?!..
