[Chrisanne · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's such a broad spectrum!

Takeaway thoughts:

The info on Harlequin Romances was fascinating. But what does it really tell us about people?

The call for better tools is appropriate.

The chapter on authorship is encouraging in some matters and disappointing in others.
