Sarah Wendell of
has written another funny, smart, insightful book about romance,
Everything I Know about Love, I Learned from Romance Novels
.
Some time ago, as she was working on the book, she asked me for my thoughts on romance novels. I answered, at length...at
great
length, unsparing, as always, in my exploitation of the English language's massive vocabulary. I assumed she'd somehow scrape a useful word or two from the flood of prose.
Well, no. Sarah gave me a whole chapter, titled, "Loretta Chase Pretty Much Knows Everything." This is kind of funny: When I tell family members the same exact thing, they just laugh. Sometimes they make rude noises.
