S3E13: In celebration of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage month, we are discussing romance reads from a pan-Asian perspective. As two Asian women ourselves, we wanted to take time to focus on Asian written romance and how we view the representation we read about. We go into the facets of representation that we love, but also the stereotypes that we don’t, and end with a segment on how the romance we have read throughout the years has influenced our dating lives!
