New follower here! You are the first one to...Hello. New follower here! You are the first one to mention Romance overtaking characterization. It is annoying when the main character suddenly is all about her love interest and she basically becomes all about him. It's boring and who wants to read about a whining, love obsessed teenager. Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Also, I'm giving away a Kindle or Nook (winners choice) on my blog if you are interested. The contest ends tomorrow at midnight!<br /><br />Peace & Love<br />Crystal @ <a href="http://www.yasociety.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">YA Society</a> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335427276116292574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456777204451011384.post-85573962088098572532012-10-29T03:12:09.356-05:002012-10-29T03:12:09.356-05:00Cheating, Triangles and Romance overriding Charact...Cheating, Triangles and Romance overriding Characterization; Tick, tick, tick. I hate it when the main character tries to mentally justify her cheating with the lame petty excuse of not wanting to hurt the other or that they will tell them, just at a better time AND then they end up in this big, fat mess and start to wonder where it all went wrong. PUH-lEASE. <br />Triangles...well, I have nothing to say to those.<br />Romance overriding Characterization, doesn't this happen in nearly every book where there's a bad-ass hero? They start of as some sort of punk and crazy player and then SNAP they are googly puppy dog eyes staring up in admiration at the heroine...okay, well probably not like thatt but you get what I mean. ;D<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!
