![]() Life is too short to painfully struggle through books you’re not enjoying just because someone has decided they are a “classic”. Firstly, the thought that a book being easy to read or enjoyable is a bad thing seems pretty crazy to me. ![]() Despite being the most successful of all literary genres there is a sense that romance is not as intellectual, or as well written as other genres, and the idea that most people read it purely as escapism, or for fun, is seen as a valid criticism. Lindsey Ellis’s excellent YouTube video An Ode to the Romance Novel is actually how I first discovered Sebastian’s work. Maybe not that public transport friendly!Ī lot of people have written about the idea that Romance as a genre is unfairly maligned because it is mostly written for and by women. ![]()
