Can someone please direct me to a YA book WITHOUT a love triangle?

[ღIsabellaღ]

Love triangles are overdone. It's one of the most mainstream thing right now, and I hate mainstream things. Anyways, if anyone knows a good YA book without a love triangle? Think along the lines of Divergent.

This is a question for ALL people who think the LT trend is getting stale.

Thanks:)

Read anything by Robert Cormier, I am going to suggest you start with "I am the cheese."

The YA genre's love-triangle-to-not ratio is getting increasingly scarier! Let's see...
A Million Suns by Beth Revis
I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter
Uh...yeah...

[Noël]

Across the Universe

The Scorpio Races

Eve

The PledgeBlood Red Road

[VG/Allie]

Also there is a very slight love triangle, but its only like for a few chts in
"Iron Fey"

[Allegra]

Divergent is a dystopia YA book. There is a love attraction but with no triangle.

[Claudia the Night Owl]

Ummmmm.... nope not possible.

Obviously it is since quite a few of us are mentioning some.

YES!! DIVERGENT!!!!

God, that is one of those things that you can never find in YA. I tend to live with them, sometimes they can be interesting if you don't mind all the fighting and "she's mine".

I would say,
That series doesn't have a love triangle if you don't mind reading all the books. (personally the author's writing is addictive!)

The Morganville Vampires series is a great one to choose! Love them all.


The Summoning has a small one, but its not a confusing one where the main character can't decide. The book is mostly about the teens running for their lives, so not much time for a love triangle. Check out the whole series. I'm obsessed. Lol

Veronica Blade has many cute, short books to choose from. They are all romance and mostly paranormal. Try A Bite's Tale and Something Witchy This Way Comes. Both are interesting and fun.

I'm sure there are more young adult books out there without the love triangle, but not many. Good luck! :)

[Jennifer]

Flat-Out Love and Such A Rush sound like they have a love triangle with brothers but they really don't. I hate love triangles and was glad they truly didn't end up having one.

[Gabby]

Hmmm, off the top of my head:
and .
Okay, Hush, Hush may seem like a love triangle sort of book, but i never really saw it as one.

[Chisom]

ummm hmmm lemme think ughhh i guess... hmm idk bro i need some time for that one. i'll get back to you.

[chinami]

Shiver, Incarnate, DIVERGENT, Summoning, die for me, daughter of smoke and bone and morganville vampires.

[Midnight]

It seems like every book has a love triangle. I can't stand it when the character can't choose one or the other.There has to be a favorite.

[ღIsabellaღ]

Thanks guys! Although I've read Shiver, Hush, Hush, Divergent, Incarnate. And does anyone know if The Last Echo (Body Finder) Has a LT in it? I won't read it if it does, because I'm boycotting books like that now.

[Gabby]

Hmm, i havn't read The last Echo, and i don't have it, so i can't tell you. Sorry.

[chinami]

try Gemma Doyle trilogy it gives little emphsies over LT

The Body Finder doesn't have a love triangle but the second and third books in the series introduce Rafe who creates a love triangle or so I am told because I haven't read the 2nd and 3rd book yet.

[Jenn]

I've found it REALLY hard to find an interesting book without love triangles! However, I agree with Megan's comment about A Bite's Tale and Something Witchy This Way Comes. Both are excellent books, with just the right amount of drama and romance without a LT.

[Emily]

I second the Gemma Doyle Series- there's a bit of romance, but it's not the main focus, and it's not a live triangle.

[ria ☆]

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green.

[Brianne]

Unwind and Unwholly by Neal Shusterman. It's a great series- you should check it out.

[Natasha]

DIVERGENT, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, the girl of fire and thorns,

[[deleted user]]

The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater, doesn't have one, and it is my favorite book ever. In fact I haven't seen a triangle in any of her books really. Another of my favorites, Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi also doesn't have one and it is PHENOMINAL! I didn't notice too much of one in Divergent by Veronica Roth....those are good too!Also I can't forget a couple other favorites (lol I have a lot I know) Graceling and Fire by Kristin Cashore are relatively triangle free. Fire may have an itsy bitsy one, but it is not drug out or confusing....

[Michaela]

Wither by Lauren DeStefano. I really liked this book, and it doesn't really have a love triangle(just some idiots perceive it that way, I don't get it). It's written really well and is a little bit creepy. Well worth the read!

I was just going to suggest Wither!
@ OP: You should definitely check out The Chemical Garden triology (Wither is the first book).

[Brittany]

Eve by Anna Carey. Its a dystopian trilogy. It has love, but that is not the main story and there is no triangle at least not in the first 2 books. I really liked it!

[Suzanna]

Yes, there are alot of love triangles being done today, but I don't think that it being mainstream should be the reason you shut it down. I think love triangles should only exist if they are done well (i.e the Infernal Devices), if they add something to the story rather than just be a lousy excuse to complicate a relationship. And Divergent was great, it didn't need a love triangle, much bigger fish to fry than to sit around thinking about another guy.

I particularly like them, pacing around your room in agony, trying to decide which character you prefer while throwing the book across the room and shoving your face in a pillow. Or maybe that's just me.

I just finished Legend by Marie Lu and it was awesome. I pray that there will be no love triangle in the second book, it definitely does not need one. And I have faith that Marie Lu will follow through because there is alot more going on.

[Danielle (Love at First Page)]

any of Melina Marchetta's books. :)

[Kathryn]

oh try BEFORE I FALL it is an amazing book!!!!!!!!! its by Lauren Oliver

[Kathryn]

[Megan]

I just read the fifth one in The Grey Wolves series today and remembered that there is absolutely no love triangles throughout it. Lots of sarcasm, though :) The first book is Prince of Wolves

[Nicole]

Kathryn wrote: "or HOURGLASS"

Dude, that one has a love triangle

[Nicole]

Divergent doesn't have one... watch me jinx my luck and there be one in the third... BETTER NOT. BETTER NOT.

[TK]

Variant, Robinson Wells, Birthmark (but book 2, has one... but the story is so amazing), The Maze Runner, Article 5, Pure, Legend, The Burn, Cinder, Under the Never Sky, Scored, Enclave (but book 2 has a little one), Alice in Deadlands, Scars, X-Isle, Matched, The Uglies, have one but I loved the book.

[Michaela]

Another book I just read Awaken is totally freaking amazing. Everyone needs to read this book. Gahh seriously. It is my new obsession.

[[deleted user]]

1. The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater

2. Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

3. Eve by Anna Carey

4. Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi (some think it's a love triangle... but in my opinion NO WAY)

5. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

6. Variant by Robison Wells

7. Legend by Marie Lu

And for the record these are all some of my favorite books and I hope you enjoy them as I much as I do. :)

[Nia]

Possess has no love triangle,Anna dressed in blood doesn't too (i don't know if the 2nd one has some but the first one doesn't).

[Jennifer]

Shatter Me had a love triangle. True it wasn't big in the first book but in the sequel it becomes a HUGE love triangle. Unearthly has a love triangle Clara-Tucker-Chrsitian which becomes HUGE in the sequel as well. Glimmerglass also has a love triangle with Keane who is a million times better than Ethan. Also like someone else said Hourglass has a love triangle. Kaleb! LOVE HIM! Michael was so boring.
