The Happily Ever After: A Memoir of an Unlikely Romance Novelist by Avi Steinberg

2.0

This was definitely a different book than I was expecting. I was intrigued that a male author who specializes in intense researches would take on romance novels.

I am an avid romance reader and just found myself frustrated with this author's viewpoint. I don't feel this was a valid interpretation of what readers are looking for out of romance.

I did appreciate the attention that was placed in this work, but overall it did not work for me.

Thank you Double Day and Netgalley for the arc of this in exchange for my honest opinion.
