True that. It's really weird how the typical love triangle is always 1 girl to 2 boys and not the other way around. Wouldn't it be interesting to see someone flip that on its head? I think I need to search for a book like that, see how that changed the whole love triangle thing up. Developed love triangles are so much better though.

Me too. My favourite characters are pretty much always the really funny ones. They're witty like I wish I could be.

That's exactly the way I think about it. Like, why is it so hard to just stop and think about the logic of what you're doing for once? Sometimes you just want someone who thinks about whether things are a good idea or not.

Much Ado About Nothing is pretty much my idea of a perfect romance. Hating each other with snarky banter at the beginning, slowly falling in love and working together for a common interest with a sense of betrayal toward the end. Shakespeare has some illogical romances in his less famous plays, but Much Ado About Nothing is one of the best I've read. I don't see anything wrong with fangirling over pairings in Shakespeare. You can't go wrong with the classics.

I'm so sorry you had trouble commenting. Thanks for persevering anyway. I always love to get a comment from you. Young romance is just so unrealistic, isn't it? Like they go on and one about this guy being their one true love, and they're what, sixteen? You don't have to find your husband in high school. there's a lot of life left to live after school is finished. I will admit, my parents met in high school, but at the end rather than early teens. It's just this whole mentality of either super young teens getting serious about dating, or teens in general thinking that their high school sweetheart is destined to be their one true love. Totally not realistic.

Oh those awkward details. I wonder if they're all strictly necessary sometimes. But you're totally right about the word 'naked'. Add that to a romantic moment and things start to sound inappropriate very quickly. It's just got so many negative connotations for me. Can we just say she touched his skin without implying a lack of clothes? Otherwise, please clothe that naked neck!

Hi Neal, I'm so glad you finally took the plunge and commented on my blog. I love chatting to my readers. It's great when authors manage to write a romance inside a book that doesn't take over when it's not in the romance genre. It happens way too often in my experience. Lack of communication is a pet peeve of mine. Why not just say something if you think something's wrong? There are so many other ways to make problems for a romantic couple than using silly problems that could be fixed by a good chat. Thanks for stopping to comment!

Emma is one of my favourite Jane Austen books! Though my personal favourite is Persuasion. Pride and Prejudice is amazing too. It would be so cool to be in a production of that. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for visiting Lauren. I'm glad you agree.

I totally agree. It's one of the best love stories ever. Thanks for stopping by!

Oh I totally agree. When they add all the little details of what they tasted like and what it felt like and all those things, I curl up in a little corner in my mind cringing and wishing it would go away. Personally, I think it's possible to write a good kissing scene where you don't have to go into quite such vivid detail. But then, some people might actually enjoy that!
