This week's question: Do you have any specific literary pet-peeves in the genres you read and why?
This week's question: Do you have any specific literary pet-peeves in the genres you read and why?
YA has so much to offer, and what one author does well, another doesn't. Or after a while it starts to feel overdone.
For example, Melissa's pet peeve- love triangles. I totally agree with her and think they have been done so many times that if I see it, I sigh. There are ones that I liked such as Nightshade, Matched and Unearthly, which to me felt like they had a new spin, or they are ones where I truly had a hard time chosing.
Another thing that comes to mind is the lack of parental presence. I realize that in real life, there are parents that work all the time, or are seemingly uninterested in their kids lives. I don't need a lot of parents in YA, but I do love it when they are involved.
What about you?? Agree or disagree? What pops into your mind?
