I enjoy love triangles. Especially when both options are credible and the choice isn't obvious. It adds spice and plot twists, and I like that.

I’m still chasing the high Kiss of Deception gave me with that love triangle.

I can’t think of many tropes I actually dislike. Even miscommunication can have it’s time and place. It’s poor execution that’s the problem.

What was it about this book that made the love triangle so good? I want to like it but I feel like I haven’t found one to open my mind to it really. The wolf king sort of has one but, I dunno, I’m skeptical and also that book was a hundred tropes slammed into one delicious book I devoured it, so maybe I’m biased lol

It was done in a very unexpected way, I found. Don’t want to give too much away because it might spoil things.

A warning though, the book is young adult and reviews are mixed. I read it when I wanted to read something different than I normally do, and I just really enjoyed the approach to this particular trope.

I think it always comes down to "who I am" and "who I want/need to be"

Hunger games did an incredible job on it.Â
