I don't mind if the language is realistic, but as a teacher, I get kind of upset when I read a wonderful YA book but I can't use it in class, assign it for summer reading, or sometimes even recommend it to my students because the language is so bad. Is it really necessary, is the thing? Great post! J.J.

I know right?!? Maybe we should start an I hate insta-love campaign and they would get the message.

I totally agree with them all, especially the 5th! You think when it's the most loathed thing about YA books that authors would take a hint! ;)Cheyenne Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208101173842036167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-707631051198193918.post-75765791510332472872012-10-25T06:20:47.187-07:002012-10-25T06:20:47.187-07:00I totally agree about the 'cookie-cutter' ...I totally agree about the 'cookie-cutter' characters! (I have kind of the same thing in my post.) But I don't think I included insta-love. I included similar things, but insta-love is off my list I believe...everyone seems to be doing it!
