Unnecessary love triangles

did you mean the entire teen fiction section

OH LOOK!

TEEN FICTION!

WITHOUT

ANY OR UNNECESSARY 

LOVE TRIANGLES

IN THEM.

I DIDN’T KNOW THERE WERE SO MANY!

Stop hating on and generalizing teen fiction. They are great sources of reading material if you just take your time and choose wisely.

Can I have teen fiction WITHOUT any romance, period? (Or very little… but is not focused on as a plot point)

That would excellent.

I’m super picky about my romances, I generally find most fictional ones to be uncomfortable or problematic.  Looking for a good YA without it is difficult, not impossible, but certainly difficult.  ESPECIALLY if it’s female lead.  I actually actively avoid most female-lead YA novels for this very reason.  Sad but true…

Any suggestions?

(As a side note, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time was a good book without pivotal romance, but I don’t think it strictly counts as YA.  Also, Le Guin’s Earthsea novels dodge the romance trap.  LOVE those books.)
