Why do books always have unnecessary romances?
For example I like the Hunger Games but I just feel that they're in an arena killing each other and then getting opressed the fuck out of in districts and trying to fight against the gov. so why are they falling in love. I haven't read the 5th wave but from what I've heard, they're living in a dystopian society where mayhem is happening the girl is trying to find her brother yet she somehow has room in her mind to fall in love. I like the Divergent series bu why in the world would Tris and Tobius be making out every 2 pages when they are trying to remove an entire system. I feel like if you had that much going on and your life is in danger it's unrealistic. It's so unnecessary and pointless. Like a book will be all "oh no aliens are running around everywhere my whole family has the plaque and there is a war. Better get in that boy's pants." Don't get me wrong, sometimes they make sense. For example I read Harry Potter. Voldemort didn't attack till the end of the year and throughout the year when bad stuff was happening there was still room for things to not be messed up. In the Percy Jackson series there were times where they could interact without worrying about Kronos or Gaia or some pissed off God/Goddess. Even then, couples had to take reasonable amounts of time to develop. For example, Nico had to become more open and start being more outgoing and less intimidating to start making friendships and then eventually date Will. Percy and Annabeth had to go through hell and back-literally before they got to know each other well enough and start dating. I just feel sometimes romance is not necessary for a book but it's always squeezed-and pulled, pushed, and forced-into the plot. Why?

Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that thinks its complete bull. unfortunately it's because these authors think that they need to include that in order to sell, and sadly they're right. People love the idea of love and sex and romance sells. Its sad, I know.
