Romance novel: Girl sees boy. Boy ignores girl. Girl hates boy. Boy is nice anyway. They screw and have a lavish girlie dream wedding.
My former boss’s mom was a fan of “romance” novels
and he would always pick some up for her.
She told him, “Get the ones with RED covers, they
have more sex!”.
A great summary of the average romance plot.
This level of romance writing is great escape literature, almost as much fun as super hero special forces guys who endure excruciating pain, kill myriads of our nation's enemies, ravish hot women, and are gallant to a fault. Somehow romance is funnier because it is often the most unreal.
