Freebie Friday 17: Love Triangles that Work

on


Happy Friday!  Today's topic is LOVE TRIANGLES.

I know -- it's all the rage to hate on YA love triangles, but I think that the right kind of triangle can create a lot of angst and suspense.

Love triangles didn't start with Twilight, though I think that the Edward-Bella-Jacob love triangle definitely heated up this trend in the YA genre.  So today I'm featuring triangles with two guys and a girl -- though there are other variations...

There were literary love triangles way before Twilight. Like these:

Jay Gatsby -- Daisy Buchanan -- Tom Buchanan from The Great Gatsby

Scarlett O'Hara -- Rhett Butler -- Ashley Wilkes from Gone With the Wind

Anna Karenina -- Count Vronsky -- Karenin from Anna Karenina

There have also been a lot of great love triangles in film and TV:

Spike -- Buffy -- Angel 

Stefan -- Elena -- Damon

Pacey -- Joey -- Dawson


Here are my rules for a perfect love triangle:

1) The heroine must be romantically drawn -- or emotionally tied -- to each guy equally, and for completely different reasons. If not, you have something more like true love and a third wheel.

2)  The love triangle has to be true to the characters and the story.

3) By the end of the story, the heroine needs to make her choice and live with the consequences. I don't count it as resolved if a) one of the guys gets killed off or b) I'm told that one of the guys is actually a terrible person who has, for instance, been secretly cheating on the heroine.

And here's my list of Five YA Love Triangles That Really Work.

 I may not know how all these turn out -- so please, no spoilers!

 5. Logan-Aura-Zach from the Shade trilogy by Jeri Smith-Ready.
Poor Aura. This is not a spoiler, but her boyfriend Logan dies right off. So you'd think that this breaks my rule #3 about killing off one side of the triangle. Nope.  Logan haunts her as a ghost, and I kept thinking that there really was a possibility they'd get back together.

4. Jay-Violet-Rafe From the Body Finder series by Kimberly Derting
You would think that Violet and Jay were an unbreakable couple. They were best friends who became more. But this series took a darker turn, and Rafe represents a character who can help Violet understand a whole different side of herself. I can't wait to find out what happens in the next book!

3.  Tucker-Clara-Christian from the Unearthly series by Cynthia Hand
This triangle is similar to the one above. Clara is an angel, and Tucker is mortal. Christian hasn't made any moves on Clara yet, but I have a feeling that might be coming in the final book in this trilogy. Eeep!

2. Gale-Katniss-Peeta from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I had absolutely no idea which of these guys Katniss was going to choose for the longest time. Then by book three, I could see that one of the guys was subtly changing and I had my suspicions about what was going to happen. Still, I can't deny that this was a good one!

1. Jem-Tessa-Will from the Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare
Okay, so I've only read Clockwork Angel, and after that I'm Team Will, but then at the end of that book, Will pushes Tessa away.  Don't tell me what happens in Clockwork Prince!

To enter Freebie Friday, just tell me your favorite literary, TV or film love triangle. Okay, if you're totally and completely allergic to love triangles, you can make your case. If you don't think I can find you if you win, please also leave an email in the Google Doc. Thanks!

Open internationally and entries will close at 8 am on Saturday, September 22. THIS FREEBIE FRIDAY IS OVER BUT PLEASE CHECK BACK NEXT FRIDAY :)

    Ah, the love triangle. Yeah I'm not totally opposed if it's done right. I've really been liking the Miranda Kenneally triangles I read recently. Though Sam Henry belongs to ME:) And love the Buffy, Angel and Spike example too!

    FYI: I'm reviewing The Demon Catchers of Milan on Monday:)

    I have to say, there is a point you wrote about love triangles that a ton of authors seem to ignore and it is:

    The heroine must be romantically drawn -- or emotionally tied -- to each guy equally, and for completely different reasons

    I think a ton of authors just do the whole third wheel thing and this is what made many YA readers stop liking love triangles.

    One of my favorite love triangles is from The Host by Stephenie Meyer. There is Wanda, Jared, and Ian.. oh and if you count the inner soul then four including Melanie

    thanks for the giveaway!! I would pick Onyx <3

    I looove love-triangles. They really add spice in a book. And ofcourse the tragic-and-sacrifice feel to it, which is my fave when it comes to books.

    You already listed my currrent fave love triangle, Will-Tessa-Jem. Dimitri-Rose-Adrian in the Vampire Academy Series by Richelle Mead; Finn-Wendy-Loki in Amanda Hocking's Trylle Trilogy.

    I saw a review of a historical romance book which says it has a very pointless love triangle... I forgot the title...

      I didn't see the Dimitri-Rose-Adrian thing as a true love triangle because I never thought that Rose loved Adrian in the same way she loved Dimitri. But I know that a lot of people disagree with me :)

    I'm really trying to stay away from the whole love triangle thing because it kind of bothers me but for some reason I always end up reading a book with a love triangle anyway lol. So even though I don't really like love triangles I will admit that some of them really leave me all anxious and in suspense about who she's going to pick. My choices are:
    1)The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare-Tessa, Will, Jem
    2)Catching Jordan by Miranda Kelley- Jordan, Ty,Sam

      While I agree with you and Heather that Ty-Jordan-Sam was a love triangle, I didn't include it because it didn't come up until the end of the book. I loved that it took me by surprise, though :)

    I would like the record to show that the Edward-Bella-Jacob triangle is in fact NOT a triangle. Jacob had ZERO chance with Bella from the beginning which actually makes Jacob the third wheel, not part of a triangle.

    I agree with The Great Gatsby and of course The Hunger Games, which is probably one of the best written triangles ever (I haven't read all the books on your list). Until the one guy started to change Katniss could have legitimately gone either way.

    And while I agree that there is a good love triangle in the Unearthly series, I really hope she picks Tucker.

      Oh, I fell about the Dimitri-Rose-Adrian thing the same way. It was NEVER a love triangle. I love Dimka and all, but I really felt bad for Adrian in the end of Last Sacrifice. At least he has Sydney, unlike Gale from THG who was all alone. :/

      Good point. Maybe it's more like a love .. what is the geometric shape with five sides?? A pentagon. Which doesn't sound very romantic -- more like a field trip to Washington DC. Hexagon sounds romantic, though...

    Okay, so you chose pretty interesting triangle. I loved each and everyone you mentioned, especially Cassie Clare's Will/Tess/Jem...and you'll see what I mean when you read Clockwork Prince.

    Anyway, I am not particularly fond of love triangles. I must admit, I kinda hate them because, sometimes, it feels that every single book I read has to have one and it's annoying.

    Oh yes, the love triangle from TID was very good! But my absolute favorite is from Richelle Mead's Dark Swan series. I honestly got the wrong guy- I never knew who Eugenie would end up with until the last book! It's the best, in my opinion- but it's not YA though. :) I also like the love triangle from Rachel Vincent's Shifters series. It's also adult, but there was so much emotion that the love triangle was believable!

    But aside from TID, I don't think there's any YA love triangle that I like... (And like you, I haven't read CP yet! Sadly, I have a feeling Tessa will end up with Will- for some reason, I like Jem a tiiiny bit more. ;) )

    Those are all my favorite love triangles!!! I don't love love triangles by any means, but they can be done in a way that adds conflict to the story without doing so simply to cause drama. I agree that there definitely has to be equal feelings for each character, though, or it's not a legitimate triangle.

    You know what I'd like to see, if the triangle has to continue it's upward spiral? More guys in the middle, choosing between two girls. I love reading from the male POV, and it's rare that the guy actually has to choose between two love interests.

    You hit on one of the things that bothers me most about "love triangles" which is that the center doesn't always seem equally drawn to both sides. The other is when the main characteristic of each guy is that he's hot and yet still drawn to the "plain" girl-if all 3 characters have well-developed interesting personalities, then I have no problem.

    I love love Triangles as long as they are done right. Give me a triangle that leaves me confused as to who I want the character to end up with and I'm hooked. Give me a love Triangle where it's annoying that another character is in the picture and it doesn't feel like it fit's and I'm pissed. I haven't read any of the one's you mentioned but I can't wait to get started. They sound sooo good. My fav. love Triangles are with Will, Casian and Jacinda in the Firelight Trilogy. In the first book, Will was an obvious choice and I felt Casian was just in the way, but by the second book I was shocked to feel a pull towards Casian. My other fav. is the Kathleen Turner series by Tiffany Snow between Kathleen, Blane and Kade. Blane is such an obvious choice but you can't deny the intense chemistry she has with Kade. It confuses me and keeps me hooked!

    I'm not really a fan of love triangles. I kinda severly dislike them even if there pretty well done. Most of the time I think they are not. One that I did enjoy, despite myself, was in the City of Bones series for Jace-Clare-Simon. I liked Jace always but found that I didn't mind seeing both boys. There is a few others but mostly, if it has a love triangle, I need a great reason to love it.

    All mine are tv shows. I'm really into Lost right now (I'm only on Season 2, I know I'm kinda late to the game) so Jack-Kate-Sawyer. Bill-Sookie-Eric from True Blood. Dawson-Joey-Pacey from Dawson's Creek & Brenda-Dylan-Kelly, Dylan-Kelly-Brandon from 90210.

    My favourite love triangle has to be from Rachel Vincent's Shifters series. I simply could not wait to find out how it worked out! Faythe was in a relationship with Marc, but had a kind-of flirty relationship with Jace. Events happened and it turned into one hell of a mess! I loved it though, just thinking about it makes me want to read it all over again!

    I always love your Friday questions-they're always so much fun to think about and respond to. Yes, I love love triangles! I love to see that the main character has more than one option, and vote for my favorite. To me, the best love triangles are the ones where I love both love interests equally, and I can't even decide who I want the main character to be with! Some of my favorite love triangles are:

    *The Infernal Devices Series by Cassandra Clare (Will-Tessa-Jem)
    *The Delirium Series by Lauren Oliver (Alex-Lena-Julian)
    *The Nightshade Series by Andrea Cremer (Ren-Calla-Shay)
    *Laurel Series by Aprilynne Pike (David-Laurel-Tamani)

    I feel the same way about the Unearthly series and The Infernal Devices you mentioned above. Both are really well done and have readers truly torn.

    I actually dont like love triangles but I dont stay away from books that have them just because of it (I really like the Body Finder, TID, and Unearthly, for example). But I feel like, what if I like both the guys and the MC chooses one, I'd feel really bad for the other guy I liked too! Or even worse, what if I like one guy but totally hate the other and the MC chooses the one guy that I cant stand (like I feel will happend in the Shifters series by Rachel Vincent...haven't read the last book yet. Team Jace!) That would just be not cool (for me!) And then there's the case where the MC chooses the guy I do like and ditches the one I hate...but I find that the first scenerio happens the most often =/

    I have to say that I enjoyed the love triangle in False Memory by Dan Krokos. It was really well written because the MC lost her memory. It was only natural for her to feel for her rescuer, but echoes of her old love from before she lost her memory still resonate within her.

    I liked the VA love triangle just because I thought both Dimitri and Adrian gave Rose very different things that she needed. Like you said I think love triangles are best if the girl really cares about both guys and they both offer great things. I also hate when it turns out one guy is a douche all along. I feel like that is the easy way out. The author presents these two great guys and so you can accept the choice she turns one bad. I hate the Tucker/Clara/Christan love triangle. With paranormal books the whole destiny thing can really mess with a love triangle. It becomes free will verse what a character must do for their people or whatever. I liked the Gale/Peeta/Katniss triangle because I thought both boys were great guys that really loved Katniss. I think she could have been truly happy with either of them but certain circumstances just made the one guy right for her.

    I'm not completely allergic to love triangles but I have those instances were I will put a book down because of the love triangle but in other instances I love the love triangle. I suppose I have a love-hate relationship for it and it just really depends on how well written the relationships between the character's is. Also as long as by the end of the book (or series)one person is finally chosen as the main character's love but at the same time the 2nd person did not get one pulled over him/her. I really hate it when one person is just left hanging and no feelings are given to them.

    I do agree, the right love triangle can add to a book. Would Bella and Edward have been so compelling without a little friction?

    I have to go with Bill, Sookie, and Eric from The Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris (and True Blood). Thanks for another Freebie Friday!

    Really great post! Although I may say I'm not such a huge fan of love triangles, I still secretly enjoy them! Some that I don't think have been mentioned are Summer-Seth-Anna from The OC, which although was short-lived made for some pretty funny moments, and I'm in the minority here as I liked Anna more. Also, Peyton-Luke-Brooke on One Tree Hill (Brooke ftw). As for books, I stayed up really late last night finishing Unearthly and loved it. There wasn't really a love triangle in the first one, but I'm anticipating some conflict in Hallowed, which I'm desperate to read!

      I only watched a little bit of The OC and One Tree Hill, but those are great additions to my list!

      OMG -- just wait until you read Hallowed!!!!!!

    i agree with the stefan-elean - damon ( go damon)
    Adrian - rose- dimitri from VA also sleth-alex-adian from halfblood
    i don't mind love triangles if done tastefully and realistically .

    I'm not really fond of love triangles, there are only a handful that I actually like.
    Stefan-Elena-Damon are definitely a hot love triangle,I'm constantly switching between who's better.
    And Will-Tessa-Jem are also on my list. I loved the relationship between them all but I'm definitely Team Will. Though I can't help but love Jem, so I'm torn. I want Will to get the girl, but I don't want Jem to be hurt!

    Hi
    I'm not a fan of triangles, but if I have to pick one it would be Damon - Elena - Stefan. I'd love to see Damon And Elena together (really together) at least for a while.
    Another triangle could be Eric - Sookie - Bill. I'd Choose Eric for myself *wink*

    I've always loved love-triangles, but they just have to be done right. They mostly just have to be, as you said, romantically drawn and not just forced just so there could be one for drama. I love the angst and suspense, but it can't be too angsty. I really have too many favorite love-triangles to count! xD

    I love the love triangle in the infernal devices. Both Jem and Will are wonderful. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

    I'm having trouble thinking of a love triangle in literature that I've really enjoyed right now. However, in TV I have a soft spot for the True Blood triangle/quadrilateral/pentagon.

      Quadrilateral? Love it. We can learn geometry and read at the same time!

    It's great that you included literary love triangles, because I do think that they had more substance.

    I did not mind the love triangle in THE HUNGER GAMES, but in general they just annoy me. Maybe it's because quite often the girl just comes across as selfish & stupid.

    So ends my rant for the day.
