Re: Authors that follow really similar trends?

I agree that a lot of these just reflect regular YA books--beautiful protagonist doesn't see herself that way, two love interests, societal outcast.

But they do happen in a very similar manner in these two books--for instance, the two love interests never form a love triangle. It's always clear the protagonist is not interested in a long-term relationship. Both secondary love interests were the jealous possessive type (eventually coming head to head with the patient, understanding love interest that clearly lays out which is better). Secondary love interest is nobility, but actually less noble than the main love interest, and is a longterm friend of the protagonist.

Patient LI has a loving family that the girl will get inducted into, after warming herself up to one member in particular. Patient LI has a young female relative who he is shown to be very patient and kind with, and becomes the daughter-figure of the girl (who doesn't want kids herself).

I could go on. But it's a very specific subset.

Also, I think the YA genre exists simply to differentiate it for the people who ARE in that age--don't forget, you don't go from child to adult that easily.
