Follow Friday #15

Follow  Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison can Read!


Q: What is your biggest pet peeve when it comes to books? Maybe you don’t like love triangles or thin plots? Tell us about it!

INSTA-LOVE. (I have a feeling this one's going to be a popular pet peeve!) There's an awful amount of insta-love  in YA books these days. I have to admit, I used to enjoy it, but I think I've finally grown out it! Now, I can't stand it when a girl and guy INSTANTLY fall in 'love' with each other upon meeting for the first time! Then they're all over each other and thinking they'll be together forever. Seriously. GET REAL.

NON-STOP KISSING/MAKING OUT. Okay this is mainly referring to Twilight, but I'm sure there are other books out there where every two pages, you read about the main character + boyfriend/whatever kissing or making out. Please. We know you 'love' each other, but we don't need to rub it in our face. 

I guess my main problem with YA books is the romance. There are others of course (I'm a picky person!), but I more lenient with them!

What about you? Any Pet Peeves when it comes to books? Comment below!
