I consider Rachel, Percy, Annabell as kind of a love triangle because of the weird date thing and the fact Annabell (am I misspelling that?) is jealous over her presence.

Adriana It's Annabeth. Well it kind of was a no contest to me. I don't think Rachel was really after him either...well maybe. I guess I understand why that would be considered a love triangle.

Sorry the name was escaping me and yeah we knew who he was going to be with, but she did confuse him for awhile.

Her former/kind of best friend, the guy that she loves and (spoiler!!) has a baby to, and a new guy. But there is another book so I don't know how it's all going to play out.

Another book I can think of is the later books in the
Blue Bloods series in which two guys like the same girl and another girl is promised/in love with the one guy and seems to be crushing a little on the other.

Adriana Oh wow! That's too many guys. My head would be spinning trying to read that.
