YA Love Triangle Week Introduction

It's finally here!

Introduction:

After a bunch of planning and voting and changing things around, the week has finally come! 20 amazing guest posters have argued their cases for their favorite guy and now it's time for everyone to find out why! I'm excited to be sharing this with everyone else. I thought I'd do my part in all this and tell a little origin story.

The Origin:

It all started with this little book called Nightshade. Have you heard of it? In most books, I can usually pick a side but this book turned my world upside down. The triangle was so balanced and the boys were so yummy, there was NO WAY for me to figure out who I loved on my own. So I thought to myself, "I wonder how everyone else choose?" and then decided to find out. I think love triangles are such a fun and fascinating part of the YA genre and I'm so happy to be devoting an entire week to them and pulling people from all around the blogger community together for a common cause. So let the good times roll!
