What are you reading?” “Oh, this book I saw online. Boy meets girl. Girl makes boy laugh. Boy and girl fall in love. The end. It’s the typical romance formula.” “Predictable?” I ask. “Always, but that’s what I love about romance novels. You know there’s going to be a happily ever after from the moment you start reading, so you get to spend time falling in love with the characters while they fall in love with each other.”
