Nart is an avid romance reader who dabbles in other stuff when she has the spoons. When she’s not reading she’s a bureaucrat both professionally and as an activist because she’s a masochist. (Learn more about this Cannonballer: Nart's Quick Questions interview.)

So the Eat Pray Love genre is still a thing, eh?

Happiness for Beginners by Katherine Center

January 14, 2020 by Nart Leave a Comment

If you like the line of books featuring women having a post-divorce/career crisis/death in the family life crisis by venturing out into exotic locations entirely unprepared and rocking it against literally all odds, you may like this book, though it is apparently darker than others. If you are more cynical about this sort of plot device, you will likely want to strangle everyone in this book. I didn’t hate everything about this book. Helen is 32 while our hero Jake is 22. When this sort of […]

A hero on the asexual spectrum is an interesting and cool choice for a romance

They get to be actual, fully formed human beings. Her books are funny, witty, smart, […]

They shot the penis off a statue and somehow it wasn’t enough

Like No Other Lover by Julie Anne Long

January 2, 2020 by Nart 4 Comments

Julie Anne Long is a terrific author. She has a gift for creating fully realized characters out of even the most periphery characters that have virtually no space on the page. She treats her characters with intense, borderline radical compassion in a world that loves to categorize people into Good or Bad as quickly and irrevocably as possible.   This talent is probably why I am so deeply disappointed in this book.   Like No Other Lover is the second book in Pennyroyal Green series, which […]
