FLASHLIGHT READERS discussion

Seriously I don't like them. Because I think they just make the story complicated and nothing else.

50/50.

I like them when they are realistic, like if they are well made and they make sense. Some authors just create two characters for the main character to fall in love with instantly. And if it’s like that it’s just an element to complicate the story.

I like them when they're both well thought out and make sense. It really gets on my nerves when the authors just do it to add drama. Also, it's always better if you honestly don't know who's going to get chosen. It always frustrates me when the outcomes are SO OBVIOUS. So 50/50?

Same here Kate!! I HATE it when it's obvious from the beginning who is going to end up with who, whether it's live triangles, rectangles, of hexagons !!

*cough cough* twilight *cough cough*

I like them when that’s not all the books about. I think the Hinger Games is a really good example because if you remove the love triangle, its still an amazing book with an engaging and unique plotline.

I read Twilight a long time ago and it holds a special place in my heart. I have the feeling that the characters have been a little distorted by how they were presented in the movies. I guess my issue now is that I feel that the triangle was unnecessary. I think I remember that Bella told Jacob in New Moon that they could only be friends. It was obvious to everybody that Jacob did not accept that, but she never had the courage to make him understand/respect her feelings and it caused a lot of conflicts that could have been avoided.

I feel the same way

don't like love much at all so i def don't like love triangkes

In a lot of cases no because they annoy me.

I normally don't like love triangles- they usually feel forced and cliche. You can also normally tell who's going to end up with who and it feels like the author just wanted to throw in unnecessary drama to fluff up their story. However, there are a few love triangles that I love and covet and would probably die for (HeronGrayStairs, I'm looking at you) so there's that.

Sometimes. It really depends on the book.
