Yawn. There are 20 billion posts on Tumblr like that, and anyone who thinks that's a real problem with YA is either only reading those posts and other derivative articles about YA from people who don't read much of it, or hasn't looked very hard at a real bookshelf. I read almost all YA and I have no problem finding books that aren't like that. I don't get why it seems so hard for y'all...

Really, you just have to look inside the shelves as opposed to what they put on the end caps. My problem is that there is so much good YA coming out I don't have nearly enough time to read it all.

How about some recs for YA without love triangles?

[(Anonymous)]

Somebody made one in the GC.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks. I was curious to see what that particular anon would come up with, though, since they were so dismissive of people who'd had difficulty finding decent YA.

[(Anonymous)]

But it IS a real problem with YA. Just because not all YA fits that definition doesn't mean it's not a problem at all. That's like saying crappy plots aren't a real problem in romance novels because some romance novels are very good. They're not mutually exclusive. You can have good YA... and still have lots of duds with silly love triangles in the genre.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope, sorry. The crappy love triangle plot is the infamous exception, not the rule. Like everyone else who makes this argument, you've shown that you don't read the thing you're criticizing.

[(Anonymous)]

Not at all. You don't seem to understand that something doesn't have to be ubiquitous in order to be a real problem.
