If you're writing about a pretty MC in high school, is it unrealistic to write about them having a choice of different guys they can get together with? I've planned out my entire series of books (currently at seven...eek!), but it seems as if I have a new love interest in every book, although she never gets with any of them except the first one. They just chase her, hoping to be with her, doing whatever they can to be with her.
First book is love interest no.1. Second book is still love interest no.1 but love interest no.2 is introduced and begins his game to win her affection. Book three gets rid of love interest no.1 and love interest no.3 steps in. Book four has love interest no.1 back in the game, and love interest no.3 is removed. Book five is love interest no.1 fighting against no.2 again. And the rest continues on like that.
The thing is, she'll never get with love interest no.2, but she can't deny there's a spark there, and although she expresses not wanting to be with him, sometimes she fantasizes about it. However, she'll start with no.1 and stay with no.1 except in book 3 where she tries to move on with love interest no.3. Have I lost you yet? Do you think this is ok for YA? Or does she sound like a big slut haha.
