shipofherownmaking:
In YA fiction, I think it helps if the love triangle is directly tied into the main plot - if the two love interests represent two dramatically different directions that the story could go in. The love triangle in Leigh Bardugo's Shadow & Bone worked for me because it accomplished this. The love triangle in Hunger Games did not work for me (sorry fans, please don't attack) because the overall story arc would've remained largely the same regardless of whether Katniss chose Peeta or Gale.
^My feelings exactly.
