“I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few months, and I love hearing Sarah and Jen’s discussions about the cultural facets of romance novels then and now. Since Season Two’s theme is focused on the touchstone romance novels that opened the door for readers into this genre, I wonder if the hosts might find it interesting to produce an episode in which they go even earlier than the first adult romance novel they read and recall the YA books that introduced the first romantic plot lines for them? Mine were the Sweet Valley High series. I’d be psyched to hear Sarah and Jen do a breakdown analysis of the YA romance-lite books they read (if they did read those early YA pulp fiction novels that were so popular among Gen X and elder Millennial girls). Anyways, just a suggestion, but keep on doing what you’ve been doing!”
