This is a blog about romance novels.
Lately I’ve found myself reading a lot of romance, and reading a lot of literature about romance. I want to know, how does the genre work? Why is this genre so fun, even when characters are two-dimensional, or make choices that are so deranged that you end up wondering if the author has ever actually met another person in their whole life? And why do I enjoy reading these so much even if I find myself groaning at The Gender of It All?
