    Deconstructing the Romance Novel, Pt. 3: Resolutions & HEAs

    In the third episode of our Deconstructing the Romance Novel series, we talk about resolutions and happily ever afters, tackle the topic of romances versus love stories, and embrace a bit of nostalgia with a MASH-inspired quickie that has us weighing the merits of random character, setting, and plot combinations. Plus, as always, we share what we’re reading last, now, and next—and go on a few classic tangents along the way. If you want to know more about any of the books mentioned on this week’s episode, or if you’d like a recommendation from Kate or Courtney themselves, feel free to shoot us an email at romancebytheglass@gmail.com, or visit us on Instagram @romancebytheglass.
