by Amy Award

Holy patron saint of women losing their hearts to sexy, sincere football players. Whoever that saint may be, protect me and my heart from this onslaught.

“The world is always going to try to tell you how much space you’re allowed to take up. Too loud, too quiet, too big, too much. But here’s the thing, the only person who gets to decide that is you.”

Romance novels are⁠—” “Joy,” Abuela interrupted firmly. “They are joy and hope and the promise that everyone deserves love. Even girls who look like us, who take up space, who have curves and opinions and don’t fit into little boxes.”

“Love is not about someone rescuing you, mi amor. It’s about having someone who stands beside you when you rescue yourself.”

“Romance is the top-selling genre in publishing. It’s mostly for women, by women, about women. The stories are feminist, they battle against patriarchy, and misogyny. They help women feel seen and valued.”

Don’t let fear of what might happen keep you from everything that could be.”
