More aged the better? *snort*<br />Well, I hate corny dialogues. And I HATE when a character goes off-character. Does that make sense? Like when your favorite brooding book boyfriend starts being corny. Or when a villain turns into a corny villain. Um, NOPE. So yeah, my pet peeve in YA is corny stuff. <br /><br />Melissa @ <a href="www.thereaderandthechef.com" rel="nofollow">The Reader and the Chef</a>Melissa @thereaderandthechefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040344379614205993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-23998553024242096102016-03-26T23:23:33.166-04:002016-03-26T23:23:33.166-04:00Nova, you savior.

I mean #goalsss <3 <br /><br />Just so much YES to everything you listed. Flip flop love is so incredibly annoying. & What you said about Shatter Me: PREACH GIRL. PREACH. Those are my thoughts exactly. (I mean, was it really necessary to completely change Adam in the last book?! Like NO. He was my fave. *smh*)<br /><br />Also, as a minority myself, I have so many feelings when it comes to diversity (I legit make like speeches in my head during class about it lol & also just made a post on diversity). I've never come across a book with my own ethnicity being misrepresented, but I'm definitely seen it with other races/ethnicities and even that bothers me. But if you asked me to name books with Mexican MCs, I legitimately can only name Aristotle & Dante, Mexican Whiteboy, and Joyride. Just THREE. :| I would love if YA had more characters I could relate to/other minority groups, as well as characters with mental/physical illnesses because those people need to be able to relate with MCs. <br /><br />((^Omg sorry about the rant lol))<br /><br />-Cari @ MyAddictionBooksCarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415250394540250816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574434425500537211.post-9682364620054663062016-03-25T20:27:05.978-04:002016-03-25T20:27:05.978-04:00That's alright Denise!

There gradually seems to becoming more racial diversity and more representation of mental illness, but physical disability is something I think YA is really lacking. I haven't read Not If I See You First (the plot doesn't really appeal to me tbh), but I'm really glad you enjoyed it, and that it represented blindness well. The flip-flop love in Shatter Me can be really annoying too!<br /><br />Amazing post, Alex.

I don't get why every book has to have romance element in them?? What does romance has to do with anything in a fantasy book? (except to make the stakes even higher I bet). I love love triangle, <b>if</b> it's done right. I personally loved TID, but what brings Shatter Me series down in my opinion is the romance. It's like a triangle from hell! And I don't like how Tahereh switched the characters of Adam and Warner. It's just too convinient.
