I mean yeah, it happened a teeny weensy bit in The Distance Between Us but the take on it was so refreshing that I was laughing out loud when he's going all intense eyes on her. I loved that kind of thing but man, the one about all the misspent guilt, anger and whatnot, spare me. <br /><br />Great post, Erika!Sanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09297915931078500505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073845280118343307.post-51114967327383967752013-07-09T01:45:22.071-07:002013-07-09T01:45:22.071-07:00I know what you mean and I HATE when it happens! T...I know what you mean and I HATE when it happens! There are only a few things in books that aggravate me as much as this because it's so unnecessary. First of all, it's usually obvious. And then ,when the truth "comes out" and everything's a fairy tale ending I always think that i wasted so much time and energy on a conflict that wasn't even real in the first place! I think this is especially annoying in YA books, because it marks the YA characters (usually girls) as irrational and hysterical and that's just untrue and sad. Woah, this issue makes me quite mad in case you couldn't tell :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227894711128590561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073845280118343307.post-9727197588743420372013-07-08T12:21:16.166-07:002013-07-08T12:21:16.166-07:00Also I forgot to sign that....whoops!!

It's one of the few things that makes me want to jump into a book and shake characters.<br /><br />Another great discussion post, Erika!Read. Write.

I feel like the whole no-talking thing is an ineffective tool used for tension. It's pointless, really. I don't quite understand what authors are trying to go for when they do this, honestly. We the readers know there's a misunderstanding, so it makes things kind of dull, to be honest.<br /><br />Lovely post, Erika! <3Aneeqahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13352395407424623520noreply@blogger.com
