RT Booklovers Convention 2017 – Panel: “YA: Love Triangles, Instalove, and Sex”
May 5, 2017 | 2:45pm
Hyatt Regency Atlanta, 265 Peachtree St NE, Atlanta, GA
YA readers know there’s nothing better than a good love story. From Bella and Edward to Katniss, Peeta, and Gale, they root for the couples they love. But fans often disagree about the way romance should play out on the page—especially if the romances in question involve love triangles, instalove, and sex (or no sex). Are love triangles dead? Is there a universal definition of instalove? How much sex is “too” much on the page? We have assembled a panel of YA authors who write great love stories to find out what they think, and if they agree!
Location: LL3/Conference/Industry Level, Spring
Moderator: Danielle Paige
Panelists: Kami Garcia, Kiera Cass, Abbi Glines, Jenny Han, Emery Lord, Katie McGarry, Sara Shepard
