Stud in the Stacks (Girl Band #2)

by Pippa Grant

I got my mother’s German booty, and the struggle is real.

Research shows that people who read fiction regularly are more empathic. Based on your condescending, judgmental, and completely inaccurate assessment of romance novels, I’d venture to say you probably don’t read enough. At least, nothing that would make you a better person.

I’m not writing this to defend romance novels. Romance novels need no defense, because they stand on their own against every insecure word you fling at them.

Do I think he’s right, that romance novels are wrongly dismissed in literary circles? I do, actually. I’ve listened to two this week on my commute, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hooked. And impressed. There’s so much reality packed in so many of those books, I could cry.
