Why do you think this is so common in YA?I've noticed a trend lately in various YA novels(especially YA PNR); the heroines tend to turn their back on love. Or at best they're always questioning the boy's intentions. I'm sorry to say that it feels highly unrealistic that most teenage girls would be scared of getting a boyfriend. I mean older girls who've had bad experiences in the past; sure I could definitely buy that but a fifteen, sixteen year old girl not trusting enough to love for the first time? The only thing that could make me buy that one if is the girl has experienced serious trust issues with her family in the past. I'm just so tired of this!
I need some a YA heroine who has a great big dash of self confidence. I long for something else than "He probably doesn't even like me", "it is just my imagination", "it can't last forever", "I'll be hurt for sure". When I was a teen the girls (included myself) fell in love all the time and our thoughts were the exact opposite to YA heroines of today, of course the relationship would last forever! We had never been this happy or THIS MUCH in LOVE.. lol
