What about that book got you hooked on romance?Īh, Midsummer Magic.
In your book, you explain that the first romance novel you read was Midsummer Magic by Catherine Coulter.
Wendell answered questions for BookPage about falling in love with romance novels, her research for the book and why the genre gets a bad rap. Released this month, her new book- Everything I Know About Love I Learned from Romance Novels-explores how romance novels can inform our thoughts on courtship, self-confidence and modern relationships. Her first book on the subject, Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches’ Guide to Romance Novels, has been assigned in courses at Yale and Princeton. On her website, Wendell critiques and gushes over plot lines, motifs and character development in romance novels. There’s nothing more to romance novels than a mullet-sporting hero, a giddy heroine and a happily-after-ever-right? Not if you ask Sarah Wendell, better known as “Smart Bitch Sarah” from the popular (and hilarious) blog, Smart Bitches, Trashy Books.
