Or why we love to read romance.

Since we’re all enjoying our weekend, I’ll keep this short and sweet. If there’s one truism I’ve learned over the years, it’s that happiness is fleeting. There are no guarantees.

Like any good work of fantasy, romance plucks us out of our ordinary existence and plunks us into the extraordinary.

There’s something so fetching about the extraordinary.
