the new chick lit...
Here's a great article from Publishers Weekly that recently caught my eye.
I sort of love it. And hate it.
On one side: I couldn't agree more. Life is dark and complicated. Things don't always work out. And Prince Charming is far from realistic. But, but, but...
On the other side: I do love a happy ending.
I can't help it.
Is that so wrong?
(Why do I always feel so guilty admitting that?)
It's why I read books. It's why I go to the movies. I'm a dreamer, I guess. A hopeless romantic. I want the happy ending. I want to see the girl get the guy. (Or the girl get the girl/guy get the guy/whatever your preference.)
Honestly, who doesn't want to see people happy and in love? I'm not saying that love defines happiness. No, no. Not even close. But, well, does it really have to be the worst thing in the world? That's all I'm saying.
But see what you think...
